Alice,
Thank you for posting and starting the discussion on the E75 trial. I had this on my "fall back" list.

As usual our Her2 sisters are so knowledgeable....I think I'll move this option a little lower on the list. Doesn't sound like I'd qualify and I too learned something about Her2 being in the heart. Becky....thank you for that insight.

Steph..thanks for the update on the Washington group. I wish that I had known about their work earlier in my journey. But... sounds like they are performing some promising research. No pressure but....hurry up...
