My onc doesn't want to do rads and herceptin at the same time because with rads there still can be very trace scatter and even though my right breast is the one affected, he doesn't want to throw a double whammy at my heart. So he said rads first then herceptin. Did anyone else get it this way or will be gettng it this way?
