Bottom line I think is that if you are HER2 positive, you should be on Herceptin. In the past in the U.S., women were put on this only if they had bc mets. Now, thanks to recent trials, they are starting Herceptin after original bc if they are Her2 positive.


I was Her2+++ when originally diagnosed, with 20 negative lymph nodes and a small tumor. But at time, Herceptin wasn't an option. 3 and 1/2 years later, I had mets in several place and was started on Herceptin immediately.'

Hope you can work something out with your onc. Sounds like you already have some cheerleaders!

Love and light,
