Great Presentation Outlining Current Her 2+ Treatment Options

A friend directed me to this presentation that I found really helpful in outlining current HER2+ treatment options in case anyone is interested:

Thank you!

This is helpful. Today i had an appt with my surgeon and he was said my tumor has not shrunk from the two rounds of chemo i've had so far. Not bigger, but still i am quite disappointed. Two rounds to go.

Next week at my MO appt i'm going to ask about adding Perjeta. Initially i was told that it would only be available to me if my tumor were over 3 or 4 cm, and she would write an appeal to the government asking for special permission to use it. It is expensive, i gather.

I have really been hoping to be one of those people who has a very good response to neoadjuvant chemo. Less material to remove, less of a dent to fill in, better prognosis.

Anyone else not have much response to the first rounds of chemo? Then go on to a glorious response by the end?

is it normal to do chemo before surgery with a small tumor? Your profile says 1 cm. are you on Herceptin too
