Sheila,
As always, so nice to see a post from you. Sorry to hear of continued challenges. UGH!!! Many of us know the frustration well.

It sounds as if your home is warm and cheery this holiday season. Sitting in front of the colorful lights is one of life's simple pleasures for sure. I hope you feel up to soaking up their magical glow.

I agree with the wise input from everyone on the board. More drugs in the pipeline!! More vaccines on the way. Then of course, there are our old friends that seem to help us out. I am on my 3rd run with a taxane and 2nd go around with my old friend Abraxane. Maybe another run with an old friend will tide you over until "Mr. P" becomes available.

Sending warm holiday wishes and I look forward to your inspiring posts in 2012.

Lori
