I know that had I not found this site and talked to Christine, I probably would not have fought so hard to get Herceptin. Both my surgeon and onc told me, "we don't test for Her2 status because even if you are positive, you're early stage and we won't treat with herceptin".
Armed with the information from this site and the 2nd and 3rd opinions I got; I went back to my onc (ready to leave him if I had to) and demanded Herceptin.
Getting this site out to newly diagnosed women is a very good idea.
I, too would love to be a bc advocate.
