Great question. I also saw some posts at another site stating that some physicians are stating that in the near future, possibly now for some women, after 3 years of treating the ER+ and/or PR+ part for Her2+ women, no additional treatment with AI's will be necessary. The theory is that the Her2+ part is the driver, not the ER+, even though both are treated now. Has anyone else heard this, from their docs, in the literature, at meetings? Not having to take antihormonals would be great!
