Re: T-DM! News

Joe,
Based on your experience what does this mean in terms of "general availability". Does a marketing application mean that if approved by the FDA that my onc could offer this to me as early as next year?

Any idea on how long the application and approval process takes? (months, years)

I realize you don't have a crystal ball, just wondering from a very high level perspective.

Thank you so much for keeping us updated. I am anxiously awaiting this as a possible option.

Lori
