Thanks as always, Lani! I truly believe Tykerb has been protecting my brain. This data makes that very likely.

Haven't read the study yet, but wondering...
I had Tykerb in 6/09, was NED in brain at the time, but the Tykerb failed to control the disease in my body. I wonder if it would be beneficial now, with the 8 spots that we've just discovered in my brain? |
