Re: Advanced HER2+ disease in the era of adjuvant Herceptin
Joan,
I actually scheduled a consult without even telling my onc, as I didn't think he would be in favor of it.
I had it done at the univ of minn and they said they would only do it if I had no other mets. I also belong to bc.org and It is definitly becoming more common, as I see quite a few more women having it done.
Laurie
