Thanks for keeping on top of this Lani.

I'm sure those of us who are HR+ as well as HER2+ are grateful to the research being done on our small subsect of BC.

And I keep reminding myself that WE are the statistics... my onc. told me in Dec. 2006, just after my mastectomy and before I began chemo in January 2007, that I would be the future of HER2+ statistics as they had only been giving Herceptin to early stagers for about a year in Canada...

Going on six years now, no recurrence for me!!

all the best
