Just curious, on the exemestaine (which I haven't heard of) -- was the recurrence due to failure of the drug? Sometimes this site is difficult because we hear of these results without knowing the usual bi-line clinical histories of the patients writing in. On the Johns Hopkins originated breastcancer.org forum, you fill out a bi-line history that goes with your name. You do have the option not to do so, but most people do, because it enables readers to pay special attention to those who have similar bc types and treatment histories.
