Hi,
My partner Rachel consciously decided to have radiation and herceptin as adjuvant treatment at the same time because of what he had read about possible herceptin/radiation synergy (mostly from a relatively small Japanese study that was reported at last year's San Antonio Breast Care conference; you could search their website at sabcs.org for the abstract). Meanwhile, in the most recent issue of breastcancerupdate.com, Melody Cobleigh who is a major researcher in Chicago, discusses in an interview how she wants to launch a trial using radiation and herceptin simultaneously for women with DCIS that is her2+ to try to exploit this possible synergy...
Best of luck,
Jeff
