The real survival and recurance with THC for HER2+ only tumor

exercise_guru

I hate to start a thread just for this but can someone please reassure me the survival rates and recurrence rates for Her2+ tumors treated with THC. I am in a weird situation where I have bilateral breast cancer. one side Her2+ this side they are treating with THC and with Herceptin. I am trying to understand what my odds are for this tumor without worrying about all the other stuff like my other breast and my Gene.

I know herceptin is better than nothing but how good is it in the trials? Any helps or links would be so appreciated

thanks in advance

Thank you so much for posting this. I was trying to go through the entire section and it will help me to further understand Herceptin and my treatments.

I did find the BETH trial in 2013 that showed TCH at 92% but they reported at 38 months which wasn't that long.
