Re: for those w slightly bigger (t1b,c)node- her2+ tumors trying 2 decide on treatmen

Thank you Lani,

Happy to see that the study is on going and that more levels of factoring is included to make the best treatment decision...instead of a dr. just saying "oh you are lucky the tumor is small" such out of date statements...happy to see the KI 67 levels finally getting their share of attention! Way back in 05 Dr. Slamon spoke about KI67 levels and the important role they play in making treatment decisions.
