TO THOSE STARTING THREADS ABOUT THIS OR THAT SIDE EFFECT OF HERCEPTIN (or its discont

inuation) feel free to, but please also add your complaint and others' replies to the thread I started years ago that already has 444 posts Should someday the FDA or GENENTECH or some researcher look into whether there has been enough post-marketing research into how herceptin is tolerated when taken by a large population, I am sure that thread would be a nice resource. It also makes it easier for someone newly placed on herceptin to get an idea of what others are thinking/feeling/experiencing all in one easy searchable place.

28.386 views have been counted on that thread--so it must contain some good information.

Thanks!!!

Yes. And it's a good idea in general to use the search function to look for existing threads to add to when posting an article or specific question. It makes the evolving information easier to track and easier to print out.
