new treatment
Sorry I have not been posting much. There is much craziness in my life now. My dad fell and fractured his skull and is currently in a hospital rehab. So, I have been busy taking care of my 87yr old dad and my 83yr old mom. Yesterday I received the results of my latest tests and although my current mets were unchanged I have new ones to my liver and some nodes. I had 8 great months on the hki-272 and now I will be getting a port and starting taxol and herceptin next week. Hopefully I can squeeze even more time out of this treatment. Wish me luck.
