news from ASCO-- some joyous, some a downer--may set things back a bit

Tdm-1 is already appr. for those who have progressed on a taxane, and pert for earlier stage her2 . Mariane trial data on their combined effect shows increased response . I am not quite sure where the marianne results are in this grossly slow FDA drug approval system , but i would seek the combo from your onc. " off -protocol ' based on these results, and the slow system . if any resistance , think about going public with media , and getting your political reps involved. Good Luck and God Bless.
