Steph,
I was thrilled to read about your friend and her great results on Tanespimycin. As I understand from your post this drug is combined with herceptin, but cannot be used if a person had prior treatment with hercpetin. Can you explain why? Are there any trials with this drug and early stage cancers, or has it only be used for spread of disease?

Wishing you and your family the very best and blessing on Thanksgiving.
We have so much to be Thankful for.

Kind Regards,
jean
