Well - i am off of tdm1
Hello all -
Just to let you know that I was officially taken off of the TDM1 study because of my elevated Biliruben count . the last one was 2.9. We have tried everything but to no avail. They do not want a failed liver on their charts, and I can understand.
Since I have literally taken just about every combo there is in the last 13 1/2 yrs. - I am thinking to start taking Herceptin as hopefully a maintenance drug. At present or since my last PT scan on 7/15th - I was NED so we are praying this will keep cells at bay until TDMI is approved. Hope it works since I have failed with only Herceptin in the past. We will see. I am trying to stay away from anything drastic for now to try to get my liver counts down.
And lets pray that this drug is approved quickly by F &D.
Everyone take care
