Re: Update on chrisy - where's NED????
3 years is indeed a long time to buy while waiting for the cure. It is possible, too, that TDM-1 will work again in the future should you not be cured by your next enterprise! My doctors have never countenanced resection and they may well have their reasons but it is good to hear Lori is doing so well. I had weekly abraxane (a high probability hair loser) with herceptin/tykerb/zometa for about 6 months and TMs went into sharp decline (NED has never shown any interest in me) I stopped abraxane 2 months ago because I wanted to have a chemo break and because I wanted to restart an AI - I will find out what impact that has had next week. I'm sorry you have had this set back but I'm glad there are still options out there for you. Good luck with your decision-stage IV treatment is still very much a work in progress, albeit a frustrating one at times. All the best, Trish
