Becky - appreciate your answer - additional ?
If a person is resistant to (anit) hormonal therapy is there anyway prior to
recurrance to determine if the treatment is not doing the job? I am also
questioning the aspect that if the treatment is not working it can cause increase of the Her2 receptors from cellular cross talk? So that the treatment is in fact causing the increase in the Her2. Am I off on this?
Thanks Becky, just thinking some issues through and I am not certain.
Warmly,
Jean
