Krista, I was thinking the same thing about what that woman may have received. Her treatment was 2-1/2 years ago around the same time as mine. They said she was given a trial, am I correct? but no chemo. They were defiantely referring to herceptin I would think, was it administered differently, got me to wondering...any thoughts. I do wish they would have went into a little more detail on the treatments and where they were performed. The man who had those" chips" in him that could tell if there was even the slight formation of cancer so that they could do active treatment was pretty interesting, i might be interested in that but it didn't give details and i know my oncologist doesn't do it...sherryg683
