Well - here I go again

[Verna]

Irene,
Have you checked with MD Anderson in Orlando? I see a local onc here in Tampa, and follow up every 3 months after scans with an onc at MD Anderson. They seem to work miracles there.
Who do you see here in Tampa if you don't mind me asking.

Verna-

[IRENE FROM TAMPA]

I was so excited to see someone from Tampa also.

I was going to ask you the same thing.

I go to Bay Area Oncology and my doctor is Dr. Chris. George.

He was my orig. onc. and then I transferred to Moffitt. I came back to Dr Onc. last year when they put me on the Tykerb/Xeloda trial.
I did great on that for a year until this Sept.

Thanks let me know where you go.

Irene -
My dear friend we know you are anything but a quitter, so will be watching as you go this next round of battle.

It seems to me that there must be something in your tumor biology that is missed and why you can't get free of mets. Have you ever had the oncotype DX test or other?

Maybe someone like Dr. Pegram would be able to help you in this regard.

I am sending you all best healing wishes for the energy to cope with this new problem.
