re-test tumor block? for er/ep +
Just reading how the FDA has approved tykerb for use with femara for first line use.
I feel adding tykerb for 3 months would help my chances to stay NED.
What do you all think about requesting my tumor block be tested again to see if I can come up weekly er/pr +? I had a rather large tumor and tumors can have different reading in different parts. I want them to test another part ofmy tumor. Plus my tumor looked like two at first. One a round regular type and the other a long sheet looking thing.
Is this a good idea or is my head in the snowbank in the front yard?
