Sheila, so sorry to hear your update and bummed to hear that your treatment has stopped working. Two years is better then nothing but it is so frustrating that you are now faced with trying something new again. You are entitled to get disgusted but don't get too down because you need that positive attitude to help you too. I am confident that your onc will find a winning combo treatment to knock the socks off those stubborn nodes. Maybe you will qualify for the trial but if not, there are other drugs that will work. You hang in there girlfriend. Sorry also to hear about your mom, as if you don't have enough on your plate. I know how much added stress caring for a parent can be. My mother in law, who has always been like a second mom to me, has alzheimers and it has been just awful to see the progression and decline in her well being. She is totally dependent and can't walk anymore. We have had to put her into a home because she just progressed so much. Dealing with the guilt of that on a daily basis. Please keep us updated and my prayers, love and positive thoughts are with you always.
