Well...
In Jan. 2000, I was dx'd with Stage IIIb er+ pr- but not tested for Her2 status . Went to Mexico for all, as I had no ins. Only recvd 4 rnds of A/C. No rads because no more money.
Mets dx July 2002. Mediastinal node/s, surgical biopsy and was then found to be Her2+++, also spot on lung/pelvis. Tx was Navelbine/Herceptin for just 4 rnds when scans showed NED in body. I then stopped tx. Have not had any further Herceptin and have remained NED in body.
Brain mets in Sept. 2002 with two recurrances, including present.
So, I HAVE had Herceptin, but only four infusions 4 1/2 yrs ago, none at first dx 7+ yrs ago...
