Thanks so much for sharing that video with us. I just watched it. That Barbara is a amazing lady. Can't say enough about her. 
I don't quite understand what your doctor is saying about the use of Lapatinab? In order to use this drug later on down the road....would a person HAD to of had "AC" first? I am curious because I never got to use AC. I have had a taxane & herceptin....so would that mean IF I ever needed the Lapatinab...I could have it? Sorry...but some of this is over my head since I am so new to all this. (Then you add chemo brain to the mix...and then I am lost at times. ) lol
You certainly have a awesome oncologist!!! I CAN'T even imagine either of the two I have had taking the time to write me back like yours did. Mine might thank me when I went in for my appointment...but to email me...no way. I want your oncologist.
Thanks for sharing that information. Much appreciated.
