Re: Tdm1 expanded access protocol closing
Wow this is disappointing news. As I read around these boards about this miracle drug, I wondered back to when Herceptin was first introduce as treatment early on only for metastatic cancer before it became first line defense treatment that maybe one day TDM1 will become the new first line treatment that can replace chemo adjuvant therapies altogether. Maybe my information is limited since I am not as well versed as some of the other members on here, but is that a possibility? My wife hasn't even started her treatment yet but I grow weary on the SE from the chemo on her.
