Lisa, sounds like the same for me(tykerb trial)

Hi Lisa,

I didn't know how far down this would get, so I decided to start a new thread.

I also signed the concent form yesterday, and will be having all the same scans as you. I guess it's all part of the program.

I have progressed to my hip, femur, and knee. I started rad. tx. 11/11 to the hip and will start the knee next week. I have to be finished with the tx. before I get the xelota/tykerb. I wouldn't of had to start rad. tx. had I of known the program was going to open for me this soon.

I have not been in this much pain since 3 years ago when I didn't know I had bone mets and wasn't on pain meds. I've increased to 150mcg.durelgesic pain patch and 2/ 4mg dilodid every 4 hours for pain.

Keep me informed of your progress as I will you. This is the first I've been on line for about a week. Just not up to it.

Love and Blessing
Lu Ann
