Hi All
I have not logged in for sometime as I had to care Hema through her abdominal pain and a common cold.Hema;s Onc is of the view that intially 6-9 doses of herceptin followed by tykerb will be the best for a stage IV patient,
Hema had 6 courses of mixed chemo in five of which she had herceptin and four more herceptin all in 3 week intervals.
During her last visit I asked the Onc what is lying ahed.He said if Tyberb stops being effective we have to go in for new options which are now avsilble
All the best for all of my sisters
