Hi Barbara,

As a triple positive who has stayed NED without trastuzumab or an AI and has just passed the 8 year mark, I too am listening to this discussion.

A question I have is:

Christine's recurrence a while back leads me to wonder what the frequency is for these late recurrences to occur primarily in the CNS, where monitoring is not as commonly done in general and given that it may be that the symptoms are not recognized as quickly as they are when metastasis occurs elsewhere.

A.A.
