Re: doctor update

Hi Pam,
My thoughts are with you and I feel your concern. You have already received some good suggestions here. I notice that you have not had TDM-1. It was the drug that put my bone mets into remission. I wish there were a way for you to receive it. In spite of your frustration with all these treatments, my hope for you is that the therapies your oncologist suggests will keep you stable enough until more of the targeted therapies become available to you. You courage is also an inspiration to me. I always look forward to your posts.
Kind regards,
Barbara
