Re: brain mets

If the radiation does not work, then they may suggest just hit each one with radiation separately. If that does not work, there is an opportunity to get intrathecal Herceptin. There are a number of patients treated this well, including my wife Nina. The results so far, when given in doses that are in the range of 1.5 mg/kg, are showing some positive results. Initial work done in 2008 seemed to have been overlooked. I am pushing this to be evaluated and there are some doctors willing to look at this again. Nina was treated at MD Anderson in Houston.
