Lani, Becky, All--Triple positive, node neg, herceptin use

[sassy]

Hey All,

I am working with a lady who was recently diagnosed as triple positive node negative. The only treatment mention to her so far has been tamoxifen.

I would like to arm her with some articles to take to her onc next week concerning use of Herceptin for early stage node negative (with or without chemo) and the use of AI over tamox.

What articles do you recommend?

Thanks for any help.

[Becky]

These should be enough. Look over - there are probably more. Unfortunately, I don't know your friend's stats to include something that even more indicative.
