Herceptin isn't an option for DCIS. I tried, I begged, I sought a second opinion. Because DCIS is not considered invasive it is NOT given for DCIS.....even when desired by the patient. Believe me, I tried!

So, even if WE think it is required for DCIS, the medical community does not think Herceptin is allowed for DCIS...unfortunately.
