First test results Tykerb and Herceptin
I got the results from my first month of Tykerb and Herceptin, and it was positive. My catscan is stable and my tumor marker went down 3 points. Hopefully next month will be better. I am on a clincal trial at the Dana Farber Cancer Instatue. And I am hopeful that the Tykerb will keep my cancer under control as I started progressing on my last treatment. I just wanted to say thanks to all of you when I feel there is no hope I come here and Know there is hope! I will never give up and being apart of this group is the best support anyone can get. Thanks Again!
