Thanks, Harrie and Jean. I guess I'm looking for that finish line where I can say I beat this thing and not have to worry about it anymore. I am doing my best to stay hopeful. I would assume that with herceptin and the a/i's that the study results would be more favorable if they had been able to be included in the study. It would appear that the more aggressive subtypes would come back earlier and I'm trying to remember if there were any threads on this. I'll have to try to look it up.
