Thanks, Brenda! The last T-DM1 shoe makes more sense. When Rich brought up Imelda, I wasn't sure.

So, while we're on T-DM1, has anyone heard of plans or progress to develop more of the same type of drug? There's nothing special about maytansine (sp?), right? Can't they use this same kind of technology to deliver other chemos, with the same efficacy and low side effect profile? Could there be, for example a T-Carbo?
