Ablation and Tykerb
Ablation and Tykerb Hi everyone
Thanks for all the posts on Herceptin and Tykerb. Just letting you know what im up to now. If you read my post on Herceptin and Tykerb you will know i,ve been trying to find another way of trying to get on this Tykerb drug. I mentioned to my oncologist on wednesday , all he said was it is not a proven drug and changed the subject. Since then i have been in contact with a doctor who performs ablations.Her name is Dr Alice Gillams , She has emailed me to ask for recent scan results. Also i have made an appointment to see my GP on monday to ask his advice on this matter. My GP may be able to get hold of scans for me. That is one option , the other is to try and convince my oncologist to refer me to a hospital which may offer me a trial on Tykerb. I have written my oncologist a letter ,he just never has the time and he only seems inerested in going down the chemo root. Its awful having to fight so hard to be listened to. I will let you know how i get on next week.
take care all love carolm x
