Erin,

That drop wouldn't be considered significant, although would be something watched more closely because of your history and family history. Per my onc, 50% would be the cutoff (which was given as the minimum for the clinical trial requirements to participate in a HER2 trial for adjuvant treatment). As well, the length of time of treatment is still sort of a rough estimate, and your onc's response is also quite reasonable.
