Re: What's the difference between HER2 and HER3
As rhondalea said, that pathway (her3) is still under a lot of research and not ready for primetime. Lots of people have been working on it, and we've heard Dr. Osbourne talk about researching it at...

Re: Evidence Mounts on Heart Failure After Trastuzumab in Breast Cancer Survivors
Just FYI, Tykerb (with first Xeloda and then Herceptin) works long term for some... 3 years for me. Avoided WBR because of Tykerb, was able to do 'wack-a-mole' instead. For me, and several others, my...

Re: TMD1 is coming!
I would call Genentech/Roche, they will know locations. Yes this FDA has "it out" for the pharma company... you know how I feel about this FDA. Possibly TDM1 approval mid-Feb. Just one girl's opinion.

Re: lapatinib greatly increases doxorubicin cardiotoxicity

Re: Gammaknife, Tykerb...reality check
I was on Tykerb for almost 3 years, 18 mos w/Xeloda, 18 mos w/ Herceptin... It ended up not fickle for me. When I dropped Xeloda for Herceptin, things got even better.

Just know (as I have found out) that you are not supposed to use Estring or Estrace, etc if you are on the TDM-1 EAP.

Re: denosumab superior to Zoledronic acid in Stage IVs with bone mets
I have been told that if Zometa is working, then it should not be changed. If it stops working, then try denosumab.
I have been on Zometa for over 3 years and it is working great.
