Second side of the triangle

Rob's friend took the time to thoroughly review Carolin's file. He wanted to make sure we talked about Herceptin with the LA doctor as the tumour was HER2 positive. In Canada they save that drug to use if the tumour reappears, which strikes us as closing the barn door after the horse has bolted. It may be controversial but that's the sort of options we want to know about.

He noted that the calcium levels in her blood were high and if they stayed high, he'd try another bone scan to check for problems there. The arimadex option got two thumbs up from him. Good to know. Showing that cancer is a big, complicated field he said he wasn't sure the stem cell approach was worth the effort. Some say yes. Some say no.
