Michele, I understand where you're coming from. My onc said that there was a trial with concurrent herceptin and lapatinib for those with progression. I guess we have an unspoken agreement that I'll get lapatinib if I recur, but I hadn't thought of getting it prophylactically.

I'm with you, I'd rather not risk giving potential mets the opportunity to grow.
