Re: how much more?
Joan & Julie... I would to say the option for the TDM1 trial is not an option for me at this point, as I live in Canada and experience the greatest care possible the last discussion I had with my onc was that Tykerb was only available to me if combined with Xeolda.... our access to drugs is years behind you in the US. Will be seeing onc in a few weeks and we'll be having a BIG discussion on drugs... but that's going to be to just tuck away for a later date... I believe the Taxol is doing it's job and until they can prove otherwise that's what I'll believe..
The radiation treatments you have talked about I not aware that they available here where I live, we are a small poor province and unfortunately it affects the services availabe to us here.... so I will be printing some information and checking to see what really is possible here.... thanks again, another day better and starting to kick back
