Re: not good news
Dear Pam
I know you are frustrated and disheartened with cancer but you are a fighter and I know you will continue the battle. Xeloda did well for you once before and it will again. Chrisy's comment that you have only been on targeted therapies so far with no chemo is important. Adding something back in WILL do good.
Everytime you hit cancer with a drug, it changes the cancer so things that stopped working can work again and things that didn't work before might work now.
Big hug to you friend.
