Wink Re: Update on chrisy - where's NED????

First of all I am sorry the benefit from T DM1 is winding down. That said, I also read the article about Herceptin and Tykerb being helpful after T DM1, so if you and your doc think that is promising go for it !!!!!!!!
I have a theory. If cancer keeps coming back in the same place there must be some kind of weakness in that place. Maybe finding out what that weakness is would be of some help. I don't know if it is possible, because I am not a doctor, but I think it might be something to be explored. If that is true maybe it is something that can be fixed or treated. I always wondered why people get mets in different areas than were other people get them. There has to be an explanation why some people get liver mets, some people get brain mets, and some people get bone mets.
The good news is of course that there are no other areas of cancer. So, hang in there and keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep on top of things as well as you have in the past. Take good care of yourself.
My fingers are crossed for you and I wish you all the best.
