My signature is my history. My oncolorgist stated form the beginnnig that Herceptin was not "approved" for node neg. patients. I spent many hours researching the pro's and con's and felt that I would benefit from Herceptin. It took a 3rd opinion but I finally got started in Oct., and will be getting every 3 wks. for a year. I might add that I am feeling great, except for a little chemo brain!
