I was diagnosed with Stage 1, HER2 positive (triple positive), last week. The treatment recommended is Herceptin and Tykerb to shrink tumor (2cm). If no progress is made in 6-8 weeks, I will start chemo. I just wondered if anyone had ever heard of this before? Or had this treatment? I know this particular hospital just finished a trial that has not been published yet about this protocol. Just looking for experience....THANKS!
