1 Herceptin dose 3 weeks before Kadcyla?
Hi, Everyone -- I have helped arrange for my friend to travel to get Kadcyla in Australia (it's not available in China, where she lives). However, because of the visa process, it will likely be about 3+ weeks from now before she actually has Kadcyla in her system.
Normally this might be less of a concern, but she has already waited 4 months since Stage 4 dx with no treatment, and grew 2 axillary node tumors in the meantime. I don't like the idea of waiting much longer.
She is on some supplements now, but as Herceptin is available in China (she had it before for 1 year), does anyone know a reason not to try a single dose before moving to Kadcyla (which obviously continues the Herceptin with the addition of emtansine)?
Many thanks for any thoughts (which, of course, won't be construed as medical advice, etc.)
