Hi everyone. I have a friend who is in the midst of her treatment. She is HER2+++/ER-/PR-. She had the standard 4 AC, 12 Taxol/Herceptin and now will be on Herceptin for the rest of the year. The doctor wants to put her on Tamoxifen for five years as a preventative measure (event though she is not ER/PR-) for her other breast. Has anyone heard of this? It just does not make sense. Any help would be great!
