So, having listened to the ASCO presentations from yesterday re. trial results (thanks Joe for posting easy to use link), it sounds as if while there is an advantage to Herceptin taken sequentially, the huge advantage is to take it concurrently with chemo (Taxol in the case of the trials). I'm getting it now, having been on the control arm of the trial. Glad I'm getting it, but of course wish even a little more than before that I had landed the concurrent arm of trial. Still, every trial needs the control arm. And there does seem to be a benefit to getting it sequentially (13% I think they said), although I assume they will do more analysis of those who got it right after Taxol, and those who get it within the 6 months after finishing. What a lot of news this week - heading in the right direction anyway!
