Thank you, Joy. It’s always unsettling to get bad news. My theory is that only reason I could be on gemzar since January of this year was due to the fact that I had radiation treatment last October. 6 months after last radiation treatment was April 14 and then I took 1 session off to move. Gemzar alone was not enough to keep my cancer at bat is my theory. I had a guardant 360 test that only showed very minimal evidence of TP53 that was noted as most likely benign. Probably, for now only choice is to add back abraxane - maybe at a lower dose than before. There’s no way my current Dr will do that - he’s legitimately fixated on me going on the incoming trial for 6236 which doesn’t address TP53, so I once again have to go shopping for a new oncologist. Thank you for your kind sentiments and please keep me in your prayers.
