HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - how large does your tumor need to be to have herceptin?

I'm 52, had bil. mastectomy for .7cm IDC and 1.3cm DCIS comedo, ER+(weakly)/PR-, no lymphatic invasion, Her2+++, grade 2, neg sentinel node (removed 3). My onc rec. 6 rounds Taxol, 1 year Herceptin, an AI after chemo. Am 1/2 through the chemo.

My onc feels the real sticker is my Her+++ status, hence the aggressive treatment.
