Re: How long does it take for Kadcyla to work?

Hi Yanyan,

I haven't been on Kadcycla but I have read lots of posts here about it being a slow starter so don't be discouraged hold on to what your onc says and 'patiently!!' wait - hard as I am sure it is!?
Prayers and thoughts are with you everyday from all over the world I wish I could do something to take your mind of the wait......
Good luck
Jenny x
