Well - here I go again

Hi Irene,

So sorry about your news but we are warriors, sister. So it's time to battle again. I am starting Navilbene/Herceptin today after failing Tykerb/Xeloda after a good 8 month run. I too was looking at the MCC-DM1 trial and thought I was excluded cause I've had 4 chemos. Can you let me know if you find out they are willing to waive that requirement?

Keep pushing - you're a trailblazer and an inspiration to me. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

As you know, my neck nodes were knocked out totally with Herceptin, Avastin and Taxol.....I just went off the Avastin due to insurance issues...I am hoping my B/P will come down...seems to be a concerning side effect with patients and oncologists with Avastin.....I am so sorry the Tykerb didn't work long enough...I too am wondering about Ixempra, which we heard alot about in S.A., also pertuzamab.....you are in my prayers Irene...
