Hi,

I'm newly diagnosed Stage I, high risk: BRCCA 1, her2neu+++, ER-PR-, nodes-. Because I already fought ovarian cancer successfully 17 years ago, but damaged my heart with adrymiacin (although it's a low normal 55 EF now), my doctor didn't want to chance it being damaged again and put me on an "off proocol" protocol. I just had my first chemo on Tuesday (12/30) of TCH (taxotere, carbo and herceptin. Have you tried to see other doctors to find out if it's possible that you could get Herceptin from one of them?

Wishing you a happy and healthier New Year. I'm wishing it for myself too! All the best!
