Hi Laurie, I think you can just listen to your oncologist and follows her instruction. Different Oncologists have different opinions and if you are not comfortable, maybe you can ask for a 2nd opinion. I remember my oncologist says that HERCEPTIN is targeted at HER2. I was at 45 when I was diagnoised with 2 lumps, total 0.9cm, lymph nodes -ve.

During my therapy, not much adverse effect and I was basically living my normal life. Though a little bit tired and minor heart problem.

Wish you well during the therapy. Relax and trust your doctor.
