Does this article mean that they have been able to change hormone neg/neg cells to positive and then treat them?

I am neg/neg, but have been successfully maintained on Herceptin alone for 4 years after my liver/bone mets.

Was also post-menopausal when diagnosed. So wonder if the above first question is possible, would it work for post meno patients?

Lots of food for thought if this study means what I think it says.
