Hi Liza,

Here in Europe ALTTO (Adjuvant Lapatinib Trastuzumab Treatment Options?) trial is on for newly diagnozed bc patients. So, has surely been there for awhile in the US. I was wondering about the same issue as you and thank you for opening up this thread. My mom is soon 2 years out and, perhaps, it is worth taking any further possible protection. My guess is that it takes time till these new trials, like Lapatinib adjuvant, prove to show good results. Would be nice to hear any further thoughts/knowledge on this.
