Re: Does tdm1 work after herc+Tyk
Thanks you Ellie,
I was never re-tested for her2 and my lack of response to tyk and herc (or slow growth perhaps I do not know, it seemed that it was slowed down but who knows).
I wonder if I should do a Her2 serum to see that I am indeed def still her2 but wish I could do a P95 her2 test..
I think we are years away of it being approved because FDA has refused quick approval and therefore the review for approval is only planned for mid 2012.. then another year at the very least for the EU maybe much more.. Silly.
It seems to me that we should organise ourselves the way patient advocacy group for hiv organised themselves in the 80s and 90s to push for faster research and relaxed laws for trials. They achieved a lot I guess they were much younger and in good health unlike patients for cancer older and tired from treatments..
