Re: Update - progression confirmed; the last shoe drops
Chrisy, Darn it all...I could just kick something. At least you do have lots of good options to consider--the hardest part is choosing which trt to go with--or in your case which horse you want to ride? I don't think you can go wrong with any of them--you just want the one that will kick the crap out of those buggers for inturrupting your great run with T-DM1. However I know you will get back to NED once again! Have you thought about asking Dr. Slamon his opinion? I will be watching to see what you come up with? I just know that node and liver met don't stand a chance with you coming after it. Sending lots of positive thoughts and good energy your way.
