Yes, I am currently undergoing herceptin treatments. I have only three left. I had early stage breast cancer, triple positive and the tumor was only .6 cm, no lymph node involvement. My oncologist's recommendation was herceptin only, but she would have also offered "light chemo" if I wanted to go down that road. I have virtually no side effects from the herceptin and would definitely recommend it. It gives me a bit more peace of mind.
