Re: Kathy S. in Tokyo
I've been following Kathy on a yahoo group.
Her MRI results showed some brain mets, so she is getting 2 weeks of WBR. Interestingly, she is staying in the hospital during the week, but allowed to go home for the weekends.I don't think that would happen in the US
The care is so different in countries. I remember Japan did not clear Herceptin and Tykerb till well after it was used in the US
