Thanks ladies
Thank you all for your responses.
I just had a Pet/CT/Bone scan and will see doctor for results within the week hopefully.
.
I just wanted to thank you all and Lolly I will check out some of those drugs you mentioned. I think I have already been on most of them. Lisa I can't understand why my onc. would not put me on the combo of Herceptin and Abraxane. Since Abraxane is so new she was concerned but I kept telling her that some of you were on it . Once I get my results and see what is going on I am going to check further into my options.
I am also going to email my former onc which is in San Antonio research center to see what she has to say about Lapatinib.
I am planning to do the 3-day(60 mile) Breast Cancer walk this year in Tampa and I am determined to overcome this and continue my training (I am up to 5 miles at present which is an accomplishment since I have not been very active in the last few years) . I will be walking for all of you and your loved one's. I will mention this group on my t-shirt.
Thanks again my friends
