Re: TDM1/Kadcyla Experiences

Hi Coolbreeze
You will see in my signature that I did not have all the possible combos but had many before TDM1. Nothing ever worked well for me. Taxol and Herceptine did not work at all for example in my neoadjuvant chemo.
I was in a terrible state when I started TDM1. I fought for it because I had read that even for certain Herceptin resistant women it could work AND because I did not feel strong enough to go through hard chemos. (and because you keep your hair). It is working for me for now.So Coolbreeze it is worth trying. I really hope it will work for you. Michka
