Hi Phil,

I hope you wife can continue to get this treatment. I'm towards the end of my Herceptin treatments, I was stage 1B, had neo-adjunct therapy. If you don't mind, I have some questions for you about Herceptin. I am trying to get educated, because with being HER2+, I feel like it's difficult to truly move on. If your wife was ever on Herceptin, what side affects did she experience? I didn't even know about the new drug TDM-1, is it suppose to be a better drug than Herceptin? If so, why? How does one even know whether or not the Herceptin is working?

Thanks for getting back with me.
