Jean,

Very happy to see work done on determining who needs chemo and who doesn't. Will be thrilled in the upcoming years if they can identify the groups of patients who currently receive chemotherapy unnecessarily.

Thanks Jean. I think I (and probably you and others who were on the cusp in 2005 of early stage ... had to get chemo before "qualifying" for herceptin) May be in the group that did not actually need the chemo. I stay positive that I will not get any of those distant chemo side effects somewhere down the line!
