I got the email back from Dr. Berry already!! He must have been up late on his computer. This is what he said:
"Assuredly so. (meaning he was including her2 pos with this article). Some of this has been published and some is yet to be published. Her2 pos, ER neg starts out with a relatively poor prognosis. but chemo reverses it. The two markers seem to comtribute equally. Clearly important is Adriamycin. Some suggestion that the benefits of Taxol are concentrated in Her2 pos patients"
So, for us that have had Adriamycin, and Taxol, we should feel like we got the right combo. I hope all has gotten at least these 2 drugs.
