Ruth, thanks for your response. I am hoping the actual analysis will be available possibly after it is presented at the May meeting referenced. I have been searching for more specific numbers regarding recurrence. My endo told me my chance of recurrence was 17-20% (Early stage I, 1.8c, no nodes, HER2+) but didn't have statistics for me as far as within what time period i.e., 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, etc. or what percent of HER2+ people never have a recurrence? I am also curious as to how much herceptin an Early Stage diagosed person needs. In the study I am in, one arm gets 12 Taxol/Herceptin weekly then Herceptin weekly for another 10 months. The 2nd arm gets the same except longer weekly Herceptin treatments. I can't wait to see more specific numbers.
