anyone talked of adding avastin

to herceptin or a taxane?

I know Dr. Pegram had a trial of the former and there are trials of the latter for her2- advanced bc.

There are also trials of pertuzumab...and herceptin plus 17AAG aka tanespin (heat shock protein inhibitor) or the new herceptin-DMM fusion product.

Just thinking about agents/combos she has not been exposed to yet which
work via more than one pathway.

Remember I am in no way qualified to make any suggestions.

Just making comments based on what my literature searching has found are
trials in place which have progressed beyond the Phase I and are perhaps looking hopeful in the Stage II or further so you might ask her Drs about them

Hoping something here helps!
