Thank you all for your comments. I am such a newbie to all of the terms/codes/stages of my breast cancer, but I am learning! My first diagnosis was DCIS two years ago. I thought my fight with cancer was in the background...little did I know it would return.
I received my first dosing of Herceptin this morning and so far so good. I will get blood tests regularly to monitor... and echo cardiograms every three months. I do trust my doctors and feel blessed to be in the HUB of cancer centers in Houston where the doctors collaborate and share findings/studies, etc.
