Re: Her2 +++

Alicia,

There's some very good information about Her2+++ breast cancer listed in the Homepage. Below is the link to the portion where Her2+, Her2++, Her2+++ are explained.

http://her2support.org/her2-breast-c...s-a-treatments

T-DM1 is a new treatment 'method' for Her2 +++ breast cancer. T= Trastuzumab = Herceptin = targeted medicine for Her2 positive (+++) breast cancer

T-DM1 uses Herceptin to deliver a special 'something' directly to the cancer cells that are Her2+++, so it has less side effects and more effective. There are expanded trials available in many cancer centers. And we've been hoping it will be approved by the FDA soon. You can find more discussions on T-DM1 using the 'Search' button on top.
