Hi Jessica,
Do I understand correctly that you have had recurrences while on Herceptin, but have still continued with herceptin?
I had a local recurrence after mastectomy, and will be having rads since I didn't before. My onc. is saying no additional chemo, even though my LR happened during Herceptin. I asked about PTEN testing or other testing to see why/if the Herceptin failed. She said she would try another drug if there was progression.
