Courtney showed the path to treatment. My wife just got results from four weeks at 40 mg Herceptin IT, then four weeks at 80 mg IT with Topotecan IT, as well as 120 mg Herceptin IV with Navelbine. The last is the same ass TDM-1 without it being conjugated. The December 17 2011 MRI showed 30 or so spots in the spine and two new ones in the brain. On March 9, thee ones in the spine were not showing contrast uptake, and neither was one of the two in the brain. The other in the brain only showed faintly, indicating it too had been attacked. This board gave me the hope, guidance, and perserverance to get this treatment plan approved. The posters on this board should be proud about the help they give to others.
