Hi RB,
A year before I was diagnosed with mets (Her2+++, er,pr-), I was diagnosed with vitiligo, (where the pigment producing cells of the skin, melanocytes, are destroyed, autoimmune I believe)...I also noticed that the progression of the vitiligo stopped when I started taking Herceptin in 2004; and I have been NED since. I am wondering if there is a connection; thanks for sharing this research.
Love Kim from CT
