but if you are an earlier stage you are "typically" on it for one yr though there are those that may be in the 2 yr HERA trial who will get it for a year (though we don't know at this time if 2 yrs is better than 1) AND there is new research suggesting that 9wks is just as effective as 1 yr (I think Robin may be doing this though I won't swear by it). I am ALSO on it every 3 weeks for 1 yr (will be done 8/06). Good luck, take care and God bless.
