I have been one of those people inquiring recently on this issue because my sister was taken off Herceptin last week after 6 months of treatment.

Joe was kind enough to give me the same info as posted here, and my take on this is that the chance of my sister having a recurrence is no more increased because she can't get the full 52 weeks.

Joe, any idea what Dr. Slamon's take on the FinHer study is?
