Thanks Lani. It makes sense now, in a counter-intuitive way.
Hopefully we'll see more Her2 specific info coming out of ASCO next month. (I never thought I'd be someone to look forward to such things...) We're all definetly on the cutting-edge of 'personalized medicine'-- i.e., being treated based on one's very specific disease profile, rather than catch-all buckets based on stage, lymph-node involvement, hormonal profile.
Thanks again,
Jen
