Mario and Carol,
Our thoughts are with you and we are glad that progress is finally occuring at a faster rate. I am sorry that the IT Herceptin was not as as effective as it was with Nina. Toptecan was added at 0.4 mg with the IT Herceptin and that might have made the difference for our family. We have followed your struggles and hope that there is continued progress.
