I am from original observation arm........
I don't know what they call the HERA trial now it has changed. I am receiving herceptin for two years now, 18 months after chemo finished. Before i entered the trial and all the way through i have been screened regularly. The original tests were (i think) MUGA, ECG, chest Xray, bloods. My memory is a bit hazy now. I didn't need bone and CT scans as i had had them months before, so they were still ok. Then when i was to start Herceptin in November i had all the tests again. So i find it hard to believe that the woman you mentined had no tests before hand. Maybe she is confused and was never actually placed on trial but thought she was due to previous discussions??!! I know a lot of people do get a bit mixed up about things.
Take care
Christine
