All my fingers and toes are crossed for you to get into the Parp trial. I have a friend at work who was diagnosed with Stage 4 triple negative cancer from the get go (liver mets) and was lucky to get into this trial. It was essentially great because she could not tolerate all the rounds of chemo required but they compassionately allowed her to remain on the inhibitor.

She is doing great!! Working, playing, thriving. I am sure it will do the same for you too. I am very optimistic about this drug for all pathologies of breast cancer.

I will be thinking about you.
