There are many things that I would like to ask you about your past and present situation. I would like to know about your past forms of chemotherapy. Have you been tested for Her2Neu? Have your doctors discussed other forms of chemotherapy with you? There are a number of different treatments available for metastasis to the bone. When you say you are on an island, do you have the opportunity to get second opinions?

I understand that this is extremely challenging and frightening, but I do want you to have hope. Your situation is very complex and is difficult to address in a simple brief message. I know a number of women that have successfully dealt with recurrences and are doing well. I would be glad to connect you with them, perhaps via email.

I would also be glad to discuss some possibilities with you that may be helpful with your situation and, if you would like specific information sent to you, free of charge, just forward me your mailing information.

Please feel free to contact me via telephone at 626/332-2255 or via email.
