Re: ZW25 clinical trial - day one
Wishing you the best of luck, Flori! I am sorry to hear about the f*ups at the hospital. Hard enough to fight the drugs, the odds, the disease! When you add inefficiency and incompetence into the...

Re: Keytruda
Thanks to you all! Got Keytruda today, which seemed fine. But my oxygen levels, when I walked down the hall, and started coughing, was 88, so they ordered home oxygen. Yipes. The nasal cannula and...

Keytruda
It looks like I was approved for Keytruda, starting in the next two weeks. Tucatanib is not going to work out for me, b/c I was just on Tykerb, and because it seems that they are not offering...
