I was originally diagnosed in early 2002 with 0.7cm invasive ductal BC...all lymph nodes were clean. Had a mastectomy and no further tx was recommended even though I was ER PR neg and Her2 3+. 9/03 I found a supraclavical lump, and then was diagnosed with metastatic BC. I have been on Herceptin alone every 3 weeks since then and the tumor has shrunk to almost nothing. I will have to be on Herceptin 5-7 years or longer if it works. Very minimal side effects...I wish I had been able to get it when I was diagnosed to begin with, but it was only for people with positive nodes...I think it would have prevented what I have now. My treatment is at a large Chicago Hospital and they seem to have the latest on everything. Good Luck to you both. Keep Positive, it is the best medicine!!!
