Hi, Ann! I am going to ask him about this more specifically, but he did say "the scientific community" when quoting. I do know that he belongs to several groups of oncologists that go over research, etc. I think it would be great if Her2 wasn't the "big, bad wolf" or not as bad as we have been told in the past. Once again, he was talking even without Herceptin. However, I wouldn't stop taking mine.

Although, scarily enough my mind begins to wander, and think "is there something else out there that we Her2 gals might have other than Her2 that might make it more aggressive?" Just a thought, which I sure is just so lovely and comforting.

I will let you know what he says. He always spends as much time with me as I seem to need, and we were 45 minutes into chatting yesterday as it was.

Have a great weekend!
