Hi Eric,

Real sorry that T/X didn't work out for your wife, Caryn. In your previous post, you had said that Herceptin was questionable. Why is that?

BTW, as some of you may know, some chemo drugs could be repeated in one's course of action, if only a break between the chemo drug would be long enough in his/her onc's eyes.

I'm on Tykerb / Avastin trial. My onc once said to me that I could switch to Herceptin, should Tykerb fail on me. Hope not!

Best of luck on your wife. Caryn is very fortunate to have such a supporting husband like you! :-)

God bless...
