Sheila,

I understand that the current metastatic population on Herceptin never had the ability to recieve it early stage. I guess I was wondering if the metastatic population ever had a break in Herceptin therapy and then became resistent. I assume not, as it appears that once Herceptin is begun in that population, it is never stopped.
