I wonder why they did not test the effect of Herceptin + DIM in this study.

I almost threw this one at RR during her chemo, but decided we were "breaking the rules" enough as it was.

Now she's finished with Taxotere. Probably would not hurt to have her take it anyhow. Anyone else out there "doing DIM"?
