Still Monday, June 9, 2008... these are some of the findings from the needle
biopsy done that first day. I'm not an expert at reading these, but this
information is pretty important... it indicates which drugs my tumor would
respond well to and which drugs it wouldn't.
*Doctor, hospital, and other identifying information has been made
anonymous in order to preserve the privacy of those people and places.
Further reports from those biopsy samples... these results indicate which
proteins are present (it's significant that the HER2 protein is positive, that
indicates a specific drug regimen designed around that protein) and which
hormones might or might not affect my tumor's growth.
