Desison are hard to make sometimes
Hi all i seem to be 1/2 stuck although my glass is 1/2 full not empty.
I am going ahead on 23 Feb to start my VMAT radiation and i can't wait to DESTROY these little suckers!!!! I think this is the same course of treatment that Brenda H has taken.
My problem is i saw my onc and came away feeling deflated i can see his point but i don't agree. Any way he says no treatment for me yet, just to have the radiation and he will see me in three months. I was told that i don't have enough cancer for T-DM1 (funny really) it was there idea. I was also told that her2 goes to the Brain and this was not treated so i could have had these since day one.
Also told that it is very hard to treat and there is no evidence of any major drug crossing the blood brain barrier. I did talk about what was coming through in trials and the reply was not to give something if the rest of the body does not need treating. What do you guys think?
I'm still on dexamethesone and struggle with it but i no I have to have something. Can't wait until 23 Feb wish me luck.
Jacqui
