Thanks Brenda,

I followed yours and Pattyz's story and have reviewed hundreds of your posting, it's great to be able to bounce this off of experienced veterans.

I like the wack a mole theory as well. I think we've decided that is going to be our approach. Her ONC didn't offer much hope of long term survival if we went the WBR route. We totally reject this timelime, but it's our own fault for pressing the Dr for it.

With her liver and lung currently in check and breast tumor scheduled for removal I see no reason to give up hope. And we believe our best option is the wack a mole therory as that allows us to get back on the chemo quickly.

We are being told that chemo must be stopped during radiation, does this sound right? Are there drugs options that can be used along with radiation?

Thanks,
John
