Re: Risk of Recurrent Disease in HER2-Positive Patients

Jean I was curious to know if you ever got a comment/opinion from Dr Slamon on whether to remain on an A1 past five years or whether he felt a Herceptin boost was needed after this time??

Re: Risk of Recurrent Disease in HER2-Positive Patients

Hi Tricia,
I will reach out to him and ask him.
My onc. here on the East coast has advised strongly to stay on the AI. I have thought for a while that an
herceptin boost would be ideal...even if off label.
Let's see what he says.

Sending best wishes to all.
jean
