Adriamycin for Her2 - My rad onc\'s take

[Rozebud]

He just returned from an oncology conference in Chicago that totally focused on chemotherapy. I asked him about this and he said that he has seen NOTHING in the literature and NOTHING was mentioned at the conference about this. No evidence or studies that adria is spreading the cancer in her2's. I think that unless someone produces a study (and even with that I'd be skeptical unless it was really large) we should just let the subject go and not cause panic, and assume that the nurse communicated it incorrectly. Sound good? :)

O.k. with me except it was from more then one nurse and these nurses do not know each other as they are from different oncology departments. I am not going to spend lots of time on this but I will continue to ask because it was mentioned at one time the possiblity of me going back on it if all else failed. I rest my case from the board. Hugs, Sandy

Sandy - Can she give you the basis in a study or something written and reputable that you can share? Thanks.
