I'm going to respectfully disagree here. I think the issue here IS "which chemo is best for HER2's", and not whether traztuzumab is the best answer, because traztuzumab IS more expensive.

I wonder what the average cost of first-line chemo (with all of the other drugs given with it -- antiemetics, G-CSF, etc.) is, though, in comparison.
