Aussies that are her2+

Hi all
I am in Victoria Australia and would like to make contact with other Aussies to share info about what is available where; for example I know Lyn in Brisbane has access to herceptin, taxol and carboplatinum but my onc said herceptin was only approved for use with taxanes. I am keen to get carboplatinum also, based on the latest ASCO results which shows more than doubling of time to progression; plus good reports from others on this site. I am also keen to get the her 2 serum test done but dont think it is available here yet.
I have just had my second tx with taxol and herceptin for one spot on the liver.

Thanks for such a good site.
Jackie
