And then there is me, a stage 1 HR+ HER2 positive possible "late" recurrer, who had CAF but no taxane and no trastuzumab.
It would be so helpful to know from documented study just "how much" it helps to exercise, and maintain proper weight, and take vitamin D, and take metformin (which deals with the stem cells that taxanes and doxorubicin do not), in comparison to all the chemo they continue to hang onto using.
