I am new to this board (today), and I am still somewhat ignorant about all this -- you all are talking about Herceptin being approved only for metastatic BC treatment -- yet I am getting weekly chemo before my surgery -- Herceptin along with Taxol and Carboplatin. I was diagnosed in late November, then started chemo 10 days later. There is no evidence that my cancer has spread anywhere else in my body. Surgery will be in February or March.
My tumor has shrunk from about 320 cubic cm to about 10 or 20 cubic cm in 6 weeks. We are waiting for maximum shrinkage before scheduling surgery. I am hoping for a lumpectomy.
Are you talking about a Herceptin vaccine as not approved for localized cases or are you talking about Herceptin as part of a chemo treatment plan?
