P.S.- It is important to know that the statistics that she is looking at are old. The data that is printed is based on medicines that were given 5-10 years ago, when Herceptin and some other drugs weren't even given yet. If you look on this site, under Her2 prognosis (a thread), in it there is some pretty good data from ASCO 2006 that is more current. It is included in one of the first few posts in that thread. The numbers are much better than alot of the old data.
