well...
guess who is starting the herceptin dm-1? Yes, it is me! Please tell me this is a good thing! I have to jump through all of the hoops and should qualify. I will join you fellow commuters as i will have to travel to Denver a lot. My alk phos is gradually rising and ALT, I think, is slightly elevated. The trial is set to close in June and my docs did not want me to miss the window of opportunity.
I feel overwhelmed and a little scared, but I know so many of you have done so well on it. I just want to be one of you all. Could really use some encouragement and reassurance. I have so much to live for these days, more than ever and have felt kind of down about it all.
Thanks
