Yes, I did finally get someone who really knows the erbB pathways to recommend late adjuvant herceptin. I think it only made his decision easier knowing I was pTEN positive and TAB250+. Since I was in the GRAY zone, where the benefits are unknown, he recommended the 9 week regimen, like the FinHer trail, to be certain that I take on no cardiac risks when the benefits are uncertain. Besides, he really is convinced that adjuvant Herceptin efficacy is in the first several infusions. In time, we will know timing issues more clearly as they are going to do more and larger trails with the shorter 9 week regimen, I think,and compare with the longer runs.
