With the scary news, I didn't know what to do. My first call was to my wonderful original oncologist at Sloan Kettering. Her reaction was positive & encouraging. I immediately made an appt to see her.
Upon seeing her, I hugged her & cried. She spent an hour and a half with me to talk options that would maintain my quality of life. "Why give you toxic chemo that might not work? We'll always have that in our back pocket if we need it." Excellent point!
She helped me find clinical trials near me that she believes are promising. More than anything she offered HOPE! And that goes a long way!
