Herceptin after chemo ---way after!
Diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer 11/03 -Treated with TAC, then double mastectomy [2 of 12 nodes positive], followed by Radiation - NED since 8/04. I am not in a clinical trial, but my onc and I felt that Herceptin might do the trick in fighting a recurrence - so - I began infusion last week [1x every 3 weeks for 1 year] with few side effects. Since I am more than 1 year beyond chemo, I am in an untested group. We're hoping that it will be the magic bullet for me too. Is there anyone out there in my situation?
