Herceptin/Tykerb clinical trial for early stage

[gamarae]

Hello all. I am new to all of this. Just diagnosed with early stage DCIS HER+. I had my first lumptectomy on 6/21 and one margin was not clear, so had that surgery on Monday 7/21. Still awaiting my phone call to hopefully hear that my margins are all clear this time. I have also been told to join the trial for herceptin. I am understanding I will only need 2 doses... I do not have all of my info at my fingertips but wanted to jump in here. I wish all of you luck and will try to keep tabs now!! Especially since I would only have a few doses of the Herceptin, it does not sound like anyone has had many side effects and most sound like they are taking the drug for longer periods.
