9. Ok, I understand
For some reason, I thought you had mets (whew!)

You're right, seven months may be ok for Herceptin in the adjuvant setting. Our organization is bugging Genentech to do more trials to determine the optimum length of time for adjuvant Herceptin. Its so expensive ($95,000 for 1 yr) and if women can get full benefit from less than a year, they should know that. Our group worked on the BCIRG 006 trial for use of Herceptin in the adjuvant setting, helping accrue patients. I'm glad it turned out so well.
