Hey Joy,

It's good to hear from you again, even under the current circumstances. Remember to get close to those here that love and support you. When everything seems to being going into the crapper a hundred miles an hour, I always come here to suck some life energy out of my friends, and recharge my batteries.


I think you have a lot of options left, and don't forget that Tykerb is in the pipeline for the end of this year. Perhaps you should get onboard for the EAP Tykerb, so that you can be ready if you need to go to it sooner than expected. It certainly couldn't hurt.


Are you doing everything you can with respect to your diet to help? Don't forget the green tea and green tea extract. They are powerful tyrosine kinase inhibitors. And don't let R.B find out you aren't taking your Omega-3 supplements. If you are already taking them, double the dose. There appear to be no upper limits to the amount of EPA/DHA that you can safely take. Also, remember the curcumin and pomegranate juice for it's ellagic acid content. It works well for prostate cancers, and prostate and breast cancers seem to respond to similar therapies from what I have read.


Let us know what your diet program consists of and maybe we can all make some suggestions. In the meantime, stay in close touch, as we all get a little antsy when we don't hear from regulars. Take care and may God lay His hands upon you during this trying time.


Tom
