Gosh, Berr1es, this is a tough one. My doc actually laughed when I asked her this question. She said "I don't know what your odds are if you get the treatment, but i DO know what they are if you don't."

I guess that pretty much sums it up. Cancer is never good news, and recurrence is extra-special bad news. But they only discover new drugs if folks try them, so there you have it. I'm sure her docs will try to find an appropriate clinical trial. She just has to do her part to give it a chance to work.

At least she has a great friend, and that's more than some folks can say. I hope she'll draw strength from you.
