Re: To all recently dx. and those who are visiting the site who are

"Just imagine the woman who has a small tumor of 4mm and the cut off for treatment is 5mm. How does she feel if she does want the treatment but the protocal is set."

I imagine she would feel much like those who would like to have access to trastuzumab without chemo. Unless she is willing to search for and find a physician who will support and justify her treatment, and perhaps even pay for it herself, that is why we need to work together toward trials for this group of HER2 patients that are based on data using trastuzumab alone, and trastuzumab with chemo.
