Re: Anybody still doing Serum HER2 testing?

Bonjour Steph!
you seem to be the only one on this board doing this testing. In the first hospital where I started the TDM1 trial they also did Serum HER2 testing but as another trial. When I moved to a hospital in Paris, they said that they did not think this was reliable or even the future. As I am supposed to be NED and that TDM1 on a long period is toxic, I was hoping that it could help me decide in the future, if I could stop TDM1 and take it again if the Serum HER2 test went up. I figure we are all dreaming on this board of a reliable test to help us decide of treatments.....
Porte toi bien! M
