Well, actually Weety, that's an interesting study you have shined the light of exposure on for us. Just think, if Herceptin converts ER- to ER+ what that may mean in terms of follow up post Herceptin tx. Out come the A.I.s and Tamoxifen for everyone! It may change the course of treatment and the recurrence patterns.
