Re: Question about TDM1 I don't understand

I would go for it , EAP. be a squeaky wheel w/ your docs office, and EAP folks. Lorraines " contract " talked about , if appr . occurs , they will supply another dose , til you transfer. Since its every 3 weeks , thats about 6 weeks time ? transfer might be the same facility as the EAP , since they are using t dm-1 already, and your current doc does not. If you start , you want regular doses at 3.6 to get the most effect, every 3 weeks, w/o interruption. meanwhile, if by some crazy reason , appr is delayed, EAP continues to cover you.
And, if cancer has been contained to liver , and you have a type that highly overexpresses her2 ,thats just like Lorraine , and she had a great response, a smaller target . Good luck, God Bless
