Chelee

I am not sure whether biopsy would be necessary again however, every treatment received could change things in theory. Ask the onc today. It would be super nice if you could get into the TDM-1 trial (with or without pertuzimab). Its just that the toxicity differences versus chemo is so different. That would be a great choice.

Keep the faith girlfriend. I will be thinking about you.
