Hello my name is Lisa, I am 46 yrs old. I just underwent a double mastectomy. I am HER2 positive, IDC 1.5 cm, DCIS 10% of tumor, Stage 1, Grade 2, Paget's disease. No lymph nodes affected, distance from closest margin was 28 mm, estrogene & Progesterone less than 1% immunoreactive cells present.

I meet with an oncologist next week, and I am sure he will suggest chemo along with Herceptin. I would prefer to do Herceptin alone. Can you give me some feedback? Do you know anything about Herceptin now available in injection?

I found this lump in the beg of September so the last 10 weeks have been overwhelming, any feedback would be most helpful.
