This is all very good adice. My question, and it has been for years now, the medical tx standard is not to mix ER inhibitors with chemo. The more I read the less sense it makes. Why aren't we adding say, an AI with herceptin AND xeloda or one of the others? My question is limited to metastatic disease. Not doing so is making less sense all the time.

Regards,
Al
