Herceptin alone

[Snufi]

Does anyone know of an oncologist who will give herceptin alone wihtout chemo? did one round of chemo very severe pain, body won't be able to handle anymore chemo but wouldnt mind just doing Herceptin or even Tamoxifen. I am from Milwaukee, WI area and the drs here wont give herceptin without chemo first. Is this because they think insurance wont pay? Snufi

Snufi, I have found an interview with Dr Slamon where he addresses this. And supports it when it is the only course.... I dont know how to post the link but I have emailed you....
