Re: Urgent-I would like to ask you
Boris, Hello. If your wife is Her2+ she can take Herceptin and Tykerb which take care of the cancer very well and quickly with no side effects like the other chemos she probably had. There are many women on this website that will give you alot of information and hope. Herceptin saved my life and millions of others. Her oncologist will give you all the information. I'm surprised he hasn't talked about Herceptin. Does she have an appointment with him soon? Best wishes. Mary L
