Re: Update on chrisy - where's NED????
Hey Chrisy,
Of course 3 years isn't enough....not nearly enough.
Yes, your onc is a brainiac, but she happens to also have a tough, smart, super hard headed patient too.
The trial I got thrown out of is getting really great reviews, but I don't have personal info anymore.
Chris, could you do the resection thing before you get off the TDM1?
If all these tumors we get can be different, maybe once these two pesky ones are gone, your body would continue to respond well to TDM1.
As you well know, I don't know anything for real. I will admit that I too had you cured in my mind and heart. For you and for me.
Chris, you're working with the best....just don't forget that you are an awfully smart cookie yourself. You've sure got my thoughts and prayers for a quick remedy.
much luv, ma
