Good luck Susan! Hope things go great with you. My mum's getting ready for her Radiation treatment and the oncos are going to evaluate her LFT and see whether she's fit for RT next week.
Meanwhile, we continue to seek second opinions from some Primary Investigators of the HERA and other high volume Herceptin users all the while hoping for some information that will help us establish whether we go ahead ahead with Herceptin or Tykerb. The dilemma continues...

Mom's Summary:
Dx: Stage 2b, 2 lymph nodes, Her2+ve, ER-ve, PR-ve
MRM: Sept 21st 2012, 4 AC cycles started on Oct 10th after which 12 Taxol+Herceptin weekly cycles were started in Jan.
