Lani, once again thank you for your research and detailed information.
Just this morning on NBC (East coast time 7:15) there was a NYU onc.
on air, speaking about the different types of bc and the chemo trt that
would be best to choose for a patients type of cancer. We are now
beginning to hear more of this ...the shoe does not fit all feet.
I am happy to hear this information being supplied to the public.
Just a short time ago (4/05 when I was dx) discussions on different
subtypes were not what the onc. were discussing with their patients.
I had to reach out to this wonderful site to truly learn the details
of HER2...
We as HER2 bc patients must keep ourselves updated and informed
and not believe the "the sky is falling upon our heads".
Enjoy the Day!
God Bless
Jean
