Hi Jane - I too will be asking many more questions of my onc on this topic when I see her again in a few weeks. I'm getting closer to finishing taxol/herceptin and really need to feel comfortable with the next steps, other than the continuance of herceptin every 3 weeks. I will post any additional info I get, and would love to hear what your onc says to you about the HER2+/tamoxifen issue. Seems some HER2+ pre-men women do just tamox, without the ooph or suppression shots (side effects of Lupron & Zoladex sound awful). Wish there was a clear answer as to what is best for avoiding recurrence, which is what we all want. Thanks, Alli
