14 months since chemo
I am 51 and was diagonosed in 2/2004, underwent lumpectomy, 4 AC and radiation. (.5mm, node negative, er+ but weak, pr indeterminate, her2 positive) I am taking Femara. I did not have any herceptin after my chemo. According to the oncotype dx test I was at high risk. When I saw my oncologist at my last appointment she told me that if I had been coming through this year I would have gotten herceptin, I guess I was surprised since I thought it was only used for recurrent disease. So now I am headed back to oncologist to see about taking herceptin to prevent recurrence. I was wondering if anyone knows how effective herceptin is taking this so many months after finishing chemo?
I am new to this site and not really familiar with postings etc. My apologies in advance while I learn how to navigate this site.
