Re: Risk of Recurrent Disease in HER2-Positive Patients
Jean I was curious to know if you ever got a comment/opinion from Dr Slamon on whether to remain on an A1 past five years or whether he felt a Herceptin boost was needed after this time??

Re: Risk of Recurrent Disease in HER2-Positive Patients
Hi Tricia,
I will reach out to him and ask him. My onc. here on the East coast has advised strongly to stay on the AI. I have thought for a while that an herceptin boost would be ideal...even if off label. Let's see what he says. Sending best wishes to all. jean |
