From Flori to God - BTW I'M NOT DONE!

[chrisy]

Flori - first let me say you are SO beautiful! And feeling healthy is a good thing - and not only because it makes you able to say you're not done yet!

And, it gives you time to get those 2nd and 3rd opinions. I think Steph has a good idea with getting a new biopsy, but I would add to that, you might get it assayed to find which chemos might be more effective. There's a lot of alphabet soup out there, and though I know YOU'D probably rather have chowder or a nice lobster bisque, it's good to know you could also give those tumors a good taste of T/C/H, T/A, N/H, and the rest of the alphabet. Something really nasty (for them!)

I know several folks who have had good success with Navelbine/Herceptin for lung mets, and I know a woman who is on Tarceva (Erlotinib?) + Avastin for years with lung mets. That may be on a clinical trial, but you could get it off label. There are still options out there.

My prayer for you is that you and your doctors are given wisdom to make creative and correct choices.

BTW, we're not finished with YOU yet.

MUCH MUCH love
Chris
