Thanks Lani,

Glad you are tracking me....

As you know I am always on the soap box about early stage / and/ treatments. So many misunderstand the DCIS dx. as nothing to be
concerned about...not so! But, we just do not have completed data at
this time...which is so frustrating. Knew about your earlier post.
Also linked him to other posts we have had.

I am extremely interested in Becky dx. since we recently discussed this
in SA...and we have a new memeber who has been dx. with DCIS
and some posts have been going back and forth and I wish for him
to be armed with information before he meets with his onc.

Big question for him is should he have treatment with herceptin since he is strongly HER2 positive.

Thanks,
Jean
