Re: Parenthood

I think they are doing a great job. And some people do get that sick from chemo. I was during A/C and T/H. No anti nausea meds worked for me, so I was incapacitated for the majority of 6 months. ...

Re: Abraxane VS Taxotere ?

Taxotere was very difficult for me. I am on abraxane now, and it is the easiest chemo I have done so far. I did lose my hair again, but aside from that I just have a headache and slight nausea. ...

Re: Dramatic increase in survival (7x longer) when combine antiangiogenic 2 two antih

This is very interesting. I don't have brain mets, but a month ago I was on the brink of death due to lymphangetic spread and micro tumor emboli along with dehydration. My doctor didn't think I had...

Re: Pl help:Failed perjetA, now TDM1?

My combo of abraxane, avastin, herceptin and tykerb has taken me from the brink of death to new hope for some more of my future. I was on o2 24/7 just a week ago. Now I am only using it as needed. ...

Re: This may explain why so many younger women are being dx.

Re: Denied compassionate use of TDM1
