Hi,


In your case, you have plenty of published data to show the efficacy of the Herceptin, plus chemo you already had. If you were in USA, there is no question that the Medicare or the health insurance company will pay for this, since this regimen is well known to show the excellent results in HER2 positive patients. Tell your onc to read the recent published article in New England Medical Journal (Oct issue, I believe). This is well publicized information and the news of this publication was aired in TV and newspapers throughout USA recently.


Good luck.

Ann
