I am a stage 11B, (2.4 cm tumor, lumpectomy) finished 4 rounds AC, 4 rounds taxotere/herceptin, 33 rad txs in September 2004 and am finishing my one year of every three weeks Herceptin. My onc has agreed to another year of herceptin as long as my LVEF(53 right now) does not decrease significantly. I will continue to have a MUGA every three months. We look forward to the results from the HERA trial and will use that information for future decision making. It's a complicated call but I feel best cautiously going ahead with another year rather than waiting for the results of the study. I wish you the best in your decision.
