Thanks Susanne, I was told by a doctor in Houston not to take Chemo only Herceptin and Arimadex but my doctor here told me I needed chemo first as he had no protocol for taking herceptin alone. I took one chemo round and he said I could not take anymore so am taking only Herceptin. I have been reading a lot about Herceptin and I, too, have read that may be the treatment of the future but had not heard of anyone who only took Herceptin. So glad to hear from the ones who only took Herceptin as it has been a big concern for me. I have not heard about lupron shots but will research it tonight. I loved hearing that your doctors recommended only the Herceptin.
