1 amazing case:metastatic her2 brst cn responding completely to herceptin monotherapy

[Tom]

Kate,

Mom's oncologist agreed to let her begin receiving Herceptin at the same time she was undergoing radiotherapy after her lymph node dissection, rather than wait as he had originally proposed. I truly believe that this helped her greatly, as studies have shown that Herceptin can be a radiosensitizer.

Tom,

I had Herceptin the same time as radiation so hopefully I've gotten the same benefit from the combo that your mother did. Glad to hear that your mother continues to do so well. She's very fortunate to have such a loving son.

If only we could figure out what made the drug work so well in this patient! I also had radiation with Herceptin. Reading this article will make me feel very good for the rest of the day. Thanks!

Hopeful
