My mom is 72 yrs old diagnosed with BC that is stage IIA that is HER pos and was given only navelbine and herceptin for 12 weeks and herceptin for a full year every three weeks. Her Oncologist recommended this treatment given her age and medical conditions. She will complete a year of heceptin in nov 2007. If you have any information on this treatment combination please refer me to it.

thanks
