Re: Anxiously Waiting

Heres the latest on Barbs situation, we met with her Dr. Monday afternoon. Right now the FDA is asking for a written statement from Genentech stating Barb may have the TDM-1. We already know the Dr. has talked to Genentech and they said yes but apparently thats not prim and proper to the FDA GRRRRR. We also learned that Barbs white count is slightly low so if we had the TDM-1 today she couldnt have it and her Dr. will be out of town for 1 week next week so it will be at least the 20th before she can get TDM-1 if all goes well. Shes scheduled for Navelbine next week after a week off but were told if the TDM-1 is approved to pass on the Navelbine and clean out so she can have the good stuff when he gets back.
