Re: Courtney, how are you?
Courtney,
That's just amazing news...just got to love it. Just when the ppl at UCSF think they have seen it all along comes YOU. That's pretty exciting to be the first one to show shrinkage on the Gamma scan! Now it's one of those things that will have all of you left scratching your heads wondering which one is responsible for the shrinkage? (I do know Dr. Slamon talked to me about Tykerb since it's good at crossing the BBB.) But after the "combo" you had it's one of those things that make you go hummmmm?  (Would of been fun to be a fly on the wall as they read your scans over and over again.) lol
I'm so glad you got good news and can breath a little easier as you go into the Holiday season. I'll continue keeping you in my thoughts & prayers. Enjoy!
Chelee
