My onc at PM is talking about immunotherapy drug too but I am sure that would be post TDM1. Great about the stereotactic radiation. Is that a combined trial? Such an odd mix if is. Enjoy your trip. My neighbour took off for there yesterday xo

Thanks every one for your kind thoughts. Jezza the symptoms haven't really changed. The MRI's did show a badly prolapsed disc at L5 that they think could account for the pins and needles in my feet. My onc doesn't think the two enlarged nodes in my right axilla are causing the pins and needles in my hand but really he is only guessing that. It will be interesting to see if the pins and needles go away if the nodes shrink when I start a new treatment. But it is interesting what you can accept and be happy about when things could have been a whole lot worse.

Tracey,
That is wonderful news. Immunotherapy drugs seem promising to me. I hope it proves to be very successful and you fit the criteria.

Now for a great Christmas, New Year and trip to Hawaii. :clap:

That's the best news ever Tracey. Must have been such a stressful wait. Now you can enjoy Christmas and your preparation for Hawaii. That trial sounds interesting....hope it can go ahead.

I bet you are glad that you mentioned all the symptons to your Dr. now....though I know you are very sensible about that sort of thing! Have they settled down at all?

Well got good results today my brain is apparently normal!!! My oncologist is hoping I can start in a trial at Peter Mac that involves streroreatic radiotherapy for single bone mets plus an immunotherapy drug that has been very successful in melonoma and they are now investigating its usefulness in breast cancer. He is happy for me to continue as is because he is not sure of the exclusion criteria so I will go back to see him after our trip.
