I think the IT Herceptin needs to be at least 1. mg per kg to work. Nina's was piggybacked with Topotecan, which may be important (but probably is not). Try Sloan Kettering in New York or ask at MD Anderson in Orlando (Dr. Nick in the Breast Center). Rumor has it that Genentech is looking at IT Perjeta out of Univ of South Calif, but I would not wait. Send me a personal email if you want.

Back for more MRI scans on Dec 13 through 15. Our son's 30th b-day is the 13th. We will celebrate the following weekend if things are good.
