Re: finally...a basic question is being looked @:her2+ER+s have differnt relapse patt

Weety, I know I was weakly Er. (5% I believe?) when 1st dx back in 2005. At that time I did finish a yr of herceptin back in 07. Then I recurred this last Sept so I am back on herceptin. The recent bone biospy path report from femur shows now I am highly Er positive now...60%. So maybe there is something to it?

Laurel, Very good point you made about AI's for everyone. It would be interesting to see the results from this study once it's done.
