Re: HER2 learning more is it a bad thing?
I don't believe we have any major cancer centers here in Wichita. We have one location where everyone gets treated here. And it is so busy at all times. I am going to discuss this with my oncologist in the morning I have an appointment with him at 10 a.m. - I am going to push for the Herceptin I will do whatever it takes to not have recurrance. Is herceptin like chemotherapy? Is it taken through a vein? Or pill form? Can someone please advise? Thanks
