Bev & Ken:

Thank you for the replies.
I am in Canada, so herceptin wasn't available as quickly here. My onc said with monitering I can still get herceptin. Since I am still dealing with side effects from chemo and rads I feel I need to know more from testing before I push for herceptin.
Bev - even though I know we are smarter - I had my hair dyed blonde so people don't expect as much - sad but true it worked!
My gut feeling was to get a more aggressive onc, but needed some advice from people who have been there.
