Hi Mavis,

I was diagnosed in 2004 as well, and didn't have chemo. I'm almost 6 years out from diagnosis and only had rads and hormone tx. I was talking to my doc last month, at my checkup, and he said that they probably wouldn't give me Herceptin now either. They are seeing some people with severe side effects, especially those who are very sensitive to all kinds of things. I have severe allergies and intolerances, so I didn't do chemo or herceptin either. I'm still doing well.
