Re: Back to Chema

Is Hema also receiving Herceptin with the Taxol? These 2 together are highly synergistic. Did Hema also get the new lump biopsied? It may have different characteristics and may be hormone positive now. This opens the door for many other less toxic agents.

I am thinking about you and Hema every day.
