T-DM1 is a great treatment. It worked for me for two years. I would still be taking it, but I developed lung inflammation and had to stop. I hope to try it again with careful monitoring after it is approved. I start Tykerb with Herceptin this Thursday. I really feel for Sheila because my insurance approved it right away. I don't understand why her insurance is giving her such grief. I actually wish she could start T-DM1. It could very well work for her, and it is such an easy drug compared to what she has dealt with.
Best regards,
Barbara H.
