Re: Back to Herceptin and worried

PBK,
Herceptin works synergistically with the med that it is given with so let's hope that adding Herceptin to Tykerb will give it a one-two punch. I am wondering if you can circumvent the delay in getting TDM1 by entering a clinical trial. Are there any trials offering TDM 1 where you are (I don't see your location in your signature).
Good Blessings and stable health to you and Hema.
Love Kim from CT
