Hello just wanted to chime in. I have only 2% ER+. My original onc wanted me on Als I went for a secound oppinion and was told it was not nessasary. I should exercise and drop some weight and that would be very effective. I have chossen to do the latter. It is a tough desision because you apsolutly want to do the right thing. I think I am. I hope I am. The new donc said the herceptin is the key. As it coats the cancer cells and does not let them absorb anything. Thenit is viewed as a forign abject and discarded as waste. I like the sound of that. She also pointed out in the New Englan Journal Of Medician that we have a 91.7 chance of total cure if caught early and treated with chemo rads and herceptin. I liked the sound of that!!!!!!! I googled the artical and read it for myself.
