I pray you find your answer in your heart, but as I sit here at hospice with Lisa I felt I just had to put in a quick post.

In 1999 Lisa was diagnosed DCIS 1+ ER+ PR+ HER2+++. We battled with a masectomy (single) and agressive Andromyicen/Cytoxin/Taxol chemo. Removed 20 nodes and all were clean, ALL margins clean. But even with this regime, Lisa had recurrance in 2003. Now liver, brain, bones, and lymphatic system mets. Since recuurance the battle has raged - including Whole Brain Radiation.

FIGHT! Use every weapon at your disposal. Trust your healing team. I cannot testify personally how hard chemo is - but I have been by Lisa's side through Zometa, Herceptin, Gemsar, Taxotere, Navelbine, Xeloda, revisted Taxol, and a brief fight with the Tykerb trial. I've seen how hard this fight is, but I know that this board can help you get through it - and to not treat this now with everything we've could COULD cause regrets.

Find your faith - focus on your center - and let this board pray for you.

Love and Light
Mel
