Re: Slamon et al trial results: TH very effective and equivalent to TCH in Stage IV h
After reading all these posts I finally understood what the first post meant. Then my next thought was I have no idea of the dosage I had of TC and the only reason I know the 400 mg of Herceptin is because I was delaying a treatment until the next week, and I asked because of this board and wondered if I was going to need a "Loading Dose".
Now, I am wondering since we know TH and TCH is kind of the same if you have more T with the TH then it equals the same as the TCH. Whew!! I have no idea what my TH dosage was and of course I am curious, so I am going to have to ask the nurse what it was on my next H...LOL.
Lani and Jackie are genious peeps, so you guys need to dummy it down for the layman person like me.
