Re: "remarkable results" presented for adding Perjeta(pertuzumab)to Herceptin for Sta
Greetings all,
Count me in on this one. I started the Perjeta/Herceptin combo on August 1, 2012 and have been NED since. Enjoying family and friends, working fulltime, and traveling. All is good thus far. How wonderful news for all of you. And Ann, I love your blog. You are a true advocate; seeing the big picture of this whole breast cancer crap. May us Stage IV women get through October. Peace to all of you.
Take care,
Jackie
