I mentioned this to Lolly in a private message, but has anyone read "The Making of Herceptin"? In that book someone treated skin mets with an unusual treatment not usually used for bc...that worked for that individual. An injection into the mets. It was not Herceptin, but something else. Can anyone help out?
