Hi Sheryl:

I am. I was diagnosed with a 1.7 cm tumor, node neg in 2004. Finished typical chemo May 2004. No recurrances. I will start 1 year herceptin Jan 12 of this year. My hospital is paying for the herceptin.

I was on the HERA trial, and as a control was offered herceptin one year out. Unfortunately my MUGA was too low to meet the minimum HERA MUGA requirements for actually getting it. Now my hospital is going to give it to me anyways.

I live in Vancouver, Canada.

Regards,
Merridith
