Re: Progression. :(
Hi dawny, I rarely post but do drive through Geelong on the way to Barwon Heads a bit.
If i had cancer in my breast i would want to get rid of it even tho i know often the practice is to keep it there. One woman I meet years ago at Royal Melbourne was furious she wasn't given surgery and really pushed for it. It did happen.
To the others, in Australia we are unable to get Heceptin with Tykerb unless we pay heaps for one of them. Phil suggested herceptin/Perjeta and that is also impossible to get unless on trial.
Good lcuk.
