Re: Diagnosed this month
Raz,
It sounds like you are making good decisions based on exploring all the information you can find about your cancer.
Good luck with the BRCA test - hoping it comes back negative!
I'm not a big fan of chemotherapy, but I am of targeted therapies such as Herceptin, Tykerb, etc.
There was a study or two about 9 weeks of Herceptin instead of an entire year. I would consider using Herceptin or a cancer vaccine in a clinical trial - if you can.
