Hi,

Just curious if anyone out there has gotten Herceptin for very early stage disease, my inivasive was only 4mm of her2+ with no nodal involvement by traditioinal standards- had 1 sentinel node with micromets.

My breast oncologists are telling me no Herceptin due to that fact that I am not only 4 year NED but wouldn't even meet the criteria set for the HERA trail due to the small tumor under 1cm and node negative status by traditional standards.

Anybody done Herceptin in a similar situation. As I feel determined to find an oncol who will consent to do the Herceptin late for me.
