Re: HER2 learning more is it a bad thing?
Hi pmoore,
I agree, Herceptin is a meaningful addition; the question of chemotherapy WITH it is open. I should add, also, that although early stage includes stage II such as yourself, the group of stage I's who either did not do chemo or did not do Herceptin are those who don't seem to have recurred long-term. Thanks for posting.
