Did you go to Sloan Kettering? I am just wondering because I go there for second opinions. Although I am node positive, Sloan is giving Herceptin via the HERA trial to those who finished chemo within one year. The HERA trial consisted of node negative and node positive women so if you went there or go there, this is an argument you could use to get Herceptin. I know because I was able to obtain Herceptin from the center I go to in NJ because I went to Sloan who would willing give it to me since I fit the trial protocol. When I told my NJ doctor I was going to leave and go to Sloan to get my Herceptin, he agreed to give it to me.
I don't want to assume that just because you are close to NYC that you have gone to Sloan but if you haven't, you should and if you have, you should argue with them since they are very much into "trial protocol" there.
Peace
