Jennifer you are a great sister for being so involved with Joy's care. I'm so glad that she is doing better and still in for the fight. We are thinking about her.

Thanks for the update Jen. We sure miss her here!

Jennifer!
Thank you for taking the time to update us! I am so glad to hear that she is feeling better - and such a skinny Minnie - tell her "Quick!" Now is the time to eat all the chocolate she wants before Wednesday! (and yes, RB - a few Omega 3's would be good as well!)
Love and singing songs for Joys recovery!

Dear Jennifer,

Here is a link from an ASCO article on the clinical trials of a new drug by Wyeth called neratinib (HKI-272). It is another tyrosine kinase inhibitor like Herceptin, however works inside the cell rather than on the surface. It is a very promising drug. They are running trials with this drug at Fox Chase here in Philadelphia, as well as many other places across the country. More information on trial locations can be found on Wyeth's website: www.wyeth.com . All my best to Joy.
