All of you that are more then a year out from tx,
This whole Herceptin tx after chemo for earlier stages is so new, that i don't think the dr's really know the answers yet. They told alot of people that this trial might not work, and it did for alot of women. So the answer to all your questions is that, they don't really know yet. We all are making the new statistics for Herceptin. I personally think that if your insurance will pay for it, take it. No matter how long you are out. I would have done anything to get Herceptin if i didn't get it in the trial. Don't let your dr.s sway you one way or another, this is YOUR choice not theirs.
