I shall try to be brief and not ramble for long....... I am recently diagnosed with breast Cancer. HER2 (3+) no node involvement, Er positive also. 3.5 lump removed. Currently having FEC100 x 3 then Taxotere x 3 followed by 6 weeks RT. Pre menopausal.

I am living in France although English and not quite understanding the french language as much as I would like. I understand that the governing body in France has given permission for Herceptin to be used in Adjuvant treatment for early breast cancer but my oncologist says no, she want to wait till it comes back and then use it then. I really want to be sure of my facts before I attempt to challenge her.

Can anybody help!
Thank you.
