Hi Becky and All,

Newsweek didn't say anything about herceptin, I made the connection. I had just read that IGF-1 played a part in herceptin resistance - and again, unless I am reading it wrong and that is possible, what I read in PubMed supports this.

What Newsweek article said was that exercise, basically any time you contract a muscle, you are producing the protein IGF-1 - more of it when you do aerobic excercises.

I am more confused now. Bummer.

Happy Easter Everyone!
