trial

HI Irene,
You are certainly in my thoughts. You are a fighter and I am sure you will find a way. Nevertheless, I hope, hope, hope, that you can find a way to be accepted into the Herceptin MCC-DM1 trial. It seems to be very effective for most patients, easy for most to tolerate, and it might work for you.
I would certainly fight for it.
Best wishes,
Barbara H.

Irene,

I can only echo what everyone else has said - you are an inspiration to so many. You have such a fighting spirit, I know it will continue to carry you through the rough times. I truly hope you can be enrolled in a trial and you will find the magic combo.

Stay strong and keep on fighting.
