Krista,

This is very important to this group. I personally is very much interested in the aggressiveness of HER2 as a surface protein for tumor cell growth, since I opted for no chemo, thus no Herceptin.

Back in my mind, this has been the constant concern. I have been hoping that there is none tumor cell in my body, so that the degree of agressiveness becomes a no-factor. Also, AI is preventing tumor growth and tumor cells have no food for propagation.

I really would like to know where your onc gets his information. Or is that his own pet theory?

By the way, I am so glad to hear the initial good news on your lung x ray report. Hope the final report confirms the good news.
