Just plugging into this interesting conversation. Thanks for letting me follow along!

Side question: IF EVOO can make this dramatic synergy with Herceptin, WHY aren't oncologists standardly prescribing it alongside Herceptin? (outside of the dynamics in this thread) Seems like it only makes sense?!

Thanks

Terri
