Hi Meredith, I read this report with interest as I know a few people including nurse's who moved from the UK to Ireland to have herceptin as in the UK at the time one lady said she would have to sell her house to have it. I did'nt see Ireland mentioned int he report so not sure if it was included but I was dx in July '05 and had herceptin with no problems although it had only been approved for early bc some 3 weeks earlier!! Looks like I timed it well anyway
