for what it is worth

Hi Rich. Just the comment that has been made by others at times -- that it remains an open question really as to whether hitting it hard right off the bat actually is more helpful or more dangerous, in that so many who have progressed end up running through whatever regimens there are available so rapidly -- including especially their eligibility for participating in the most current trials. So many of the chemos may do zero for their particular cancer that it is hit and miss. Also, if herceptin does work better with a strong immune system, that too is a consideration.
