Can you think of Her2+ questions for Dr. Pegram?

I have an appt on Thurs. April 12th, 2007 to visit with Dr. Pegram at the UCLA/Santa Monica Cancer Center. I have been writing down questions as I think of them, and hoping I don't overlook something and later think, "Man! Why didn't I think to ask about......"

Here are a few of the things I've jotted down so far:
*His opinion of the vaccine trials. What are the differences?
*I know it is too early yet for results of 1 year herceptin vs 2 years, but I will still bring it up.
*None of early stage breast cancer patients can tell yet if herceptin is working for them if they are NED,..How long do you think these people will stay NED?
*Is the combination of an AI and Herceptin enough to block all of the "cross talk?"...should NED ask to add tykerb to that combo? Is the AI apt to stop working over time?
*His opinion of the importanace of diet and exercise in preventing recurrance
*The possibility of "maintainance herceptin" for those who are still NED
*supplements

If you think of anything else that would be of benefit to any of us, please let me know.

(Tomorrow I'm bringing my computer in for repair, so when I check this site on another computer, I suppose I will not be recognized on the Her2 site. I'll be checking back.)
