Lani,

That is truly great news. Of course, I cannot help sighing and saying "if only!" If only that test had been around last spring when I needed to make the decision to take adjuvant chemo or not. I suspect at the end of the day, my protocol was overkill, but without the supporting data I chose to err on the side of caution and do the ACTH. Well let's hope it will be made the test du jour for all newly dx'd Her-2 patients!
