Re: Need advice about upcoming drug trial
Are you a new stage 4? It is hard to know what to suggest without knowing your treatment history...you are in Oregon? Any chance you are with Dr. Devon (who was formerly with Dr. Disis in Seattle?)
I started out with Herceptin and Navelbine as my adjuvent therapy when newly diagnosed stage 4 and had a whomping good result...have been NED for 7 1/2 years since. Please stay with us and keep us posted on how you are doing.
Love Kim from CT
