yanyan , so happy for you. such a quick response is a good indicator for continued benefits. like Lorraines experience. watch those plats.
hadn't heard of sesame oil for plats, i'll mention it to Lorraine.
i am excited that more pts will get t dm-1 earlier in the battle, been waiting for an adjuvant trial to compare it to taxanes. but how long will that trial take ? 3 yrs ? 4 ? if i was newly dx with a high her2 overexpression, i would give an adjuvant trial some serious thought.
still think the drug appr system needs a serious overhaul, the TDM-1 delay is just one sign of an FDA System that is too slow, out of touch with 21st century science , and the reality of the chemo rooms . You Stage IV 's have too few rights, and noone speaks for you at This FDA , a situation that we aim to change .
