Re: Important re Tykerb alone in Adjuvant setting

Estelle,
I also want to thank you for the post. I was in the phase II study that preceeded the Allto trial. I received both Tykerb and Herceptin. To me, the conbination makes the most sense. I hope everyone who only recieved Tykerb gets this message and also gets Herceptin. You have certainly done your part! Thanks again for thinking of others.
Sandra
