My sister, who is Her2+ER-PR-, had a lumpectomy in 7/03, a local recurrence required a mastectomy in 2/04, after which she began Herceptin, which does not cross the blood/brain barrier. Since then the only sight of recurrence has been her brain, so the presumption is that Herceptin has been keeping the rest of her body clear.
