This presentation was super informative and should be recommended to women who have been diagnosed with her2+ to better understand the treatment path and a little reassurance. Thank you for making this available for public viewing

Thank you for this presentation. I'm reassured by the relatively low likelyhood of caridiotoxicity effects from trastuzumab for patients who are in good health aside from their breast cancer.

I have no cancer now going on trastuzumab only my choice . I do not my heart to go bad.

I am receiving Herceptin but I don’t understand if Herceptin does a great job why did she put me on anastrolze for 5 years

[@txlucky1]

I'm guessing because your cancer was both estrogen receptor positive and HER2 positive. The anastrolze treats the former and Herceptin the latter.
