Hello,

My wife will be finishing radiation and moving onto Hormonal therapy after first having an oophrectomy. She will continue to receive Herceptin for a year. We have decided to use an Aromatase Inhibitor since tamoxifen may not be the best course for her2+ tumors in post menopausal women as per ASCO guidelines.

I would like to find out if anybody is using Arimidex/Herceptin combo or Femara/Herceptin combo. Studies are just now getting underway to see which AI is better and also which AI is better with Herceptin. So I think it is pretty much a call of the patient and oncologist since there is not enough data out there. If you have had a particular reason why you chose either combo, please elaborate and also are there any special side effects to worry about

Thanks for the feedback.

Vinnie
