So maybe it will end up that the standard of care for adjuvant therapy of HER2+ will be a low dose chemo with herceptin AND tykerb. I just wish there was a way we could know if we were one of the 30%who showed resistance to herceptin, so tykerb could be added from the start. SIGH. . . I don't like knowing that that many HER2+ tumors are resistant.
