Yes read this and I think it opens some doors....will be interesting to see
treatment results for those that experenice recurrance and are treated
with this new herceptin. I have to consider that this may open the treatment
to dx. those that are tested early and have a higher risk ratio may start out
with the stronger hercetpin. Each day brings us closer....

Regards,
Jean
