Wink Re: From TriciaK: Suggestions or advice, anyone??

Making an appointment with your neighbor is a great idea.
Sometimes it is good to consult other doctors and other specialists.
I always believed one doctor cannot know everything about everything. It is humanly impossible. I have often put pieces of a puzzle together by talking to several people.
You are right. It might be time to take another direction in your health care and find another way to get rid of some cancer.
I hope you feel better. Do you think the coughing is bronchitis or some kind of allergy causing post nasal drip? Many things can cause nausea. If you have a primary care doctor go to see that person too. In the meantime take care, continue to pray, enjoy your family, get a little exercise and eat healthy food. I will be thinking of you and wishing you the best.

Re: From TriciaK: Suggestions or advice, anyone??

Hi Tricia,
Has your Doctor suggested taking Tykerb with Hercpetin. It has been an easy drug for me and I did not think that Navelbine was an easy drug. I know that Tykerb can be be difficult for some, but my oncologist has told me that most of his patients tolerate it well.
Thinking of you,
Barbara H.
