Does the >75% relapse mean that more than 3/4th of all stage 3's go on to stage 4? - and that on Tykerb they feel that we are curable. My impression from my first Oncologist was that I was pretty much expected to relapse, not much question about it. So I intend to do whatever I have to do to get Tykerb as soon as possible. Let me know if I can help in anyway Michele. Thanks for going to the conference!
