I also prefer to have treatment with the least amount of side effects as long as it is effective.
I was on the TDM-1 trial from 2007 to 2009. it was still working but I developed lung inflammation.
Since then I have been on Herceptin/Tykerb.
TDM-1 did work for me and I continue to be NED with Herceptin/Tykerb. Unfortunately this combo is not approved, but with some effort I was able to convince my insurance to cover it.
