msleslie: Congratulations on getting arm 4. I have read some preliminary research that the combination Herceptin/Tykerb has the best odds. With my getting arm 2 of ALTTO, I only get Tykerb. I am a little concerned about not getting Herceptin, but so goes the random selection. I decided that once I agreed to participate in the trial, I would no drop out if I did not like the arm I was placed in. Besides, my only option if I dropped out would be to get just Herceptin and no Tykerb. Rachel
