A big thank you!

It confirmed my suspicion that the HERA 1 and 2 year arms probably weren't statistically that different (and updated my knowledge: if anybody asks about the 2 year arm, I can tell them that the announcement date is pushed all the way back to 2009).

I am thrilled to bits that they are looking very prudently at shorter herceptin courses.

Thank you again,

Christine MH

Barbara,

Thank you. I've been fixated on my tumor markers (which just make it into normal range) despite reassurances by my oncologist, so it was wonderful to hear the same things again, and also about scans. So, thank you many times over.

Thanks so much Barbara for doing this. You have provided many answers for me, and now I should stop being concerned about what the future holds for me.

Thank you again for all the work you put into this.

Thanks Barbara for sharing this information. This really gives me much hope for remaining NED, as my own oncologist and I discussed many of these same issues with similiar responses from Dr. Pegram.

All the best
Caya
