Hmm... the trial that they are talking about with Ruth is a 1 year trial. Tho I suppose they certainly keep track for several years afterwards. I don't think the ER status is relevent but I am sure it is a factor that they track. (Ruth is ER+)

I'll try to take a look at the documents that they gave us.

Mary Anne, you've been through lots of "extra"treatments on top of the original chemo without complaint it seems.

I'm assuming you have been doing the other treatments because of the heavy node involvement? I'm curious...where are you getting treatment?
