Re: ALTTO Trial - Herceptin / Tykerb
@Sandra in GA - Thanks! I agree that this appears to be the best thing going right now. I'm also delighted that I don't have to wait until chemo is over before I begin. I'm ready to get this chapter behind me so I can continue with planning my big 40th bday party in March.
