anyone with MS? Has it improved with herceptin treatment???

[Lani]

I heard an anecdotal experience related( after a lecture) by Dr. Ronald Levy --who invented rituximab, another monoclonal antibody which has been used against lymphoma, but recently against rheumatoid arthritis as well-- that another oncologist reported improvement of his wife's neurologic disease, type unspecified, with herceptin.

News today showed a trial of rituximab in MS failed to show benefit--there are a number of other monoclonal antibodies which are showing promise with MS

I was just curious if anyone here with bc and MS had noted improvement during their year of treatment (or longer treatment if Stage IV). I found a paper showing remyelinization occured with herceptin treatment of leprosy!! I periodically send info on new MS treatments to someone in DK and that paper on leprosy gave me the idea to check with you here on this board.

Any and all feedback appreciated.
