Re: study determines optimum time 2 start herceptin in early bc pts is<12 wks after d
Like Becky I had treatment later. I was dx. in 4/2005. I was told that hercetpin was not the protocol for early stage (I was stage 1 6mm.) I had lumpectomy and then radiation. I continued to search and fight for treatment. I did start TCH later. Dr. Salmon was convinced that I should and all women should be treated with Her2, regardless of being stage 1.
So far so good - I remain following up with my onc. every 6 months, I still continue to Femara.
Best Wishes,
Jean
