My name is Welthy and I am 71 years young. I had my first mamogram 1/23, 2nd 2/5, biopsy 2/11, lumpectomy 2/24,lumpectomy 3/3 Invasive ductal adencarcinoma with HER2 3+. SA node neg. Had a mamosite balloon put in, then radiation twice a day for five days. Thought that would be it, but then was told I need chemo. If accepted into a clinical study the chemo will start 4/11. The plan is to have a port put in after the first dose and then Taxol and Herceptin once a week for 12 weeks, then Herceptin every three weeks or weekly for 40 weeks. I have done a lot of reading, but haven't found anyone that has had this series or that is in a study. Any information or suggestions will be appreciated. Welthy
