Re: Back to Herceptin and worried
THANKS for all of you for your good wishes.She had the herceptin yesterday.There were no immediate side effects but they started around midnight.
The Onc said that as HERCEPTIN is expensive here in India they stop it after some time.He added that in the USAHerceptin,Tykerb combination is given indefinetly.He took the discharge easily and said more medication is needed.There was no discharge from yesterday.By the way a bit of good news .The cost of herceptin has come down 43%.So it is easy for me to pay and await the check from the insurance co.
HEMA AND I WISH ALL OF YOU A HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR
