Hi vp,
Welcome to the group, hope you've found some good information here as there is alot available! Herceptin HAS only been approved for metastatic disease, but some like yourself have been able to receive it "off protocol" in earlier stage disease; as Rozebud points out:
"...While we know herceptin won't prevent mets, there is good evidence it might help decrease recurrance. Look for the MD Anderson study where they now give herceptin to ALL stage I-III patients who are her2+ (June 04)..."
Congratulations on having a progressive oncologist, clean scans elsewhere and best wishes for continued shrinkage of the tumor!
Love, Lolly
