Oh thank you for thinking of me!
I am waiting waiting waiting and I am fighting to get in the TDM1 Teresa trial in the south of France. I will know on the 11th if I am in the right arm. I had to do a scan, a brain mri, a bone scan, a heart echo all over again and they asked for slides from my last liver operation so they could check the HER2 status. They have to send the slides to Germany although I have all the pathology reports from Institut Gustave Roussy, one of the biggest cancer center in France. All this is very long. Too long.
I am not very well and my liver is letting me down little by little. I have pain, I cannot eat very well and now I have itching all over. I don't know what to do about the itching. I hope I will be in the TDM1 arm because I believe in it and also because I think my liver will not take a harder chemo. I felt so bad for Kelly who was not accepted in the TDM1 arm. There is no crossover in this trial. This is not right. I am not giving up but all this process is crazy for women who need a treatment. I figure they think we are already lost but we know here that we can hold out a long time with a sequence of different treatments. At least I hope....
Love to all. I will post next week to tell you if I am in the TDM1 arm.
