Re: chemo reaction still no better - Chinese medicine?

Now I've had a port dye study which was fine and an ultrasound of my neck & upper chest area - no visible clotting. So that's good. So hopefully this rules out any blockage for the swelling problem.

Swelling is still bad; mouth sores and fingers seem slightly better today.

I had another acupuncture tx today - needles still hurt. When feeling my pulse his comment was 'your energy is very bad' -- yeah, I know that.

I had pet/ct scan this a.m. Hopefully will know results by late Monday. If no progression (I hope) then I guess it's abraxane when I get over these reactions.

I'm really bummed about the news of the delay in tdm1 approval. Pam
