Herceptin or not, that is the question!

Joannie,

What did you decide on?

I am HER2/NEU 3+ also, and was in the clinical trial for herceptin but got put in the control arm that did not receive herceptin. My last chemo was March 2003.

I am going to talk to my onc today about getting on Herceptin. When I first was diagnosed, my breast surgeon told me about how wonderful herceptin was and I was anxious to receive it back then and was devastated when I could not. I met with her recently too and she told me that if my current onc did not feel that I should go on herceptin, to get a 2nd opinion from other oncs in my area.
