Hi! I was dx 11/08 with stage 1 ERPR+, Her2neu 4.3 +, am 55 years old, had lumpectomy 12/5/08, removed smal 0.6cm tumor, checked sentinel nodes, no positive nodes.
Began 6 cycles of TCH 1/7/09, and am continuing herceptin for a year. Having 33 rads to be finished 7/2/09. Having hormone studies done 6/24/09 to decide which pills I'll be on for the next 5 years.
I thought it was a lot also, but from what I've gleaned the herceptin is the key?
Hope and pray that your friend does well with her treatment.
Beverly
