Herceptin treatment
Hi! You mentioned being currently treated with Herceptin for a full year regimen. I was not given Herceptin during or after I completed my 4 sessions of AC & 4 sessions of Taxotere since I apparently did not fit the "protocol" at the time I finished chemo- April '04. I did have 34 sessions of radiation after chemo. Now my oncologist is advising a year of Herceptin since I had a Her 2 pos +3 at the time of diagnosis. I am concerned about the cardiac risks & the fact that I am so far from my chemo completion (now 20 months since chemo). What were your circumstances for starting Herceptin? Are you having any side effects or symptoms with it? Sheryl
