You should ask your current oncologist and then if unsatisified, ask around. You will always wonder if you don't. I am 6/52 for Herceptin and started 4 months out of chemo (because of the announcement of the trial results) and had to fight for it. If I didn't try, I don't know if I would be on Prozac or in a strait jacket. But it would be one or the other.
One thing is whether there is a marked benefit of doing it since (I am assuming) you had the 4 ACs and 4 Taxols and then had Herceptin sequentially (much like I am doing). You gave me courage that doing this is the right thing in a previous post of mine and that you are still NED and that there was benefit to get Herceptin sequentially.
I know how its like to have to do what you have to do so do it. Ask to get it and the benefits it might give.
Best regards,
