HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - Strange ?--did your original surgery and/or recurrence occur during fall/winter/dark

Lani · 01-03-2007, 12:10 AM

Dr. Slamon said nothing about the dark(that part was my musing/questioning based on my observation that more posts seem to appear discussing recurrence during the dark months). Dr. Slamon. just quoted the natural history of her2+ breast cancer before herceptin was used.

Herceptin is certainly changing the behavior of her2+ breast cancer, but it is not effective in everyone and resistance can occur.

Thanks for your input!

PS I don't know about the tanning beds--will let you know if I read something
