Wasn't Herceptin approved for early stagers in May 2005
I was told by both my onc and my surgeon that herceptin was approved for early stage breast cancer in May 2005. Did I misunderstand??
I was dx in aug 2005, at stage 1 and currently receiving herceptin. I am being treated in at St Barnabas in West Orange, by Dr. Michaelson (on medical advisory board for this site).
