Kate--

Thanks for posting this.

I think one of the other unresolved questions is what additional benefit is gained by giving the chemo + Herceptin on a dose dense schedule. The big studies were on a traditional, three week schedule. I'm under the impression that A/C & T given on a dose dense schedule is very effective against Her2 disease.
