Thank you all, as always, for you well wishes.

I can't imagine doing nothing for very long, even as passive as the entire process unfortunately is for us. We meet with our other MO tomorrow (my actual, not science experiment, MO) and we will get her opinion as well and then make a decision. Probably we will be going with the study -- there aren't currently a lot of better options. Should it fail, however, it is another window closed and I will admit that that frightens me a bit. It's starting to feel a little bit claustrophobic in here.

The break will be nice. Generally the last study wasn't too difficult on me, but I am tired and I won't be sorry to let my skin heal up a bit from the Cetuximab. It wasn't terrible, but my skin is very dry and I have lots of annoying little cracks and splits on me fingers and feet.

The next round will probably be more difficult so it is best to gather strength I expect.

I will let you all know where we are when we know more!!

Thank you all for your support!
