Re: TDM1 is bust for me

Amanda,

Re: Anti-estrogen therapy taking too long

I should clarify that I've already had my ovaries out (in May) and at that time started femara- this combo seemed to work almost immediately. Now we've seen the numbers climb steadily and have...

Re: Pregnancy and Herceptin
