Local Recurrence on Herceptin
I have a local recurrence that I noticed during my last month of Herceptin. It's near my mastectomy scar. So far the plan is wide excision then wide radiation to my chest wall, clavicle (sp?) area.
Has anyone else had this happen and also included additional chemo? There doesn't seem to be any good data on adjuvent chemo after radiation. I had AC+Herceptin, was stage 1 node negative. Some oncs. have suggested Taxol, but I've heard it is most effective with Herceptin. Yet my recurrence happened while on Herceptin.
My onc. is not recommending any additional chemo.
