Re: Five year milestone reached
Mcgle,
Good to see you and hear your results -- My checkup this month was clear also. As you know (and my signature says) I did have chemotherapy but never had trastuzumab or lapatinib, and at that time my onc eventually was willing to provide the trastuzumab but advised against receiving it "late". So far that advice has held up for me as well.
Best to all,
A.A.
