Dear Susan,

Thank you for the info. I had a look, but I'm afraid that's not exactly what I am looking for.

As I didn't get chemo and/or Herceptin, I'm looking for info on the effectiveness of hormonal therapy. I've been taking Zoladex shots for ovarian suppression and Arimidex.

I'm trying to find out whether these therapies are more effective than taking Tamoxifen. Or than doing nothing.

There's a lot of information on Herceptin, but not much for those of us who didn't get it for whatever reason. I'm trying to find out if any of you know more about that. Maybe I should put the question in the header.

Thanks again for your help

Jacqueline
