Herceptin in 2003?

Hi Sheila,

How are you doing? I see you celebrated your six year mark and that is wonderful!

I see that you were given Herceptin in 2003? I thought it was not approved until 2005, and used for only stage iv before that time? But it looks like, from your diagnosis story that you were only stage I in 2003?

It is very concerning for me that one can progress from stage I to three or four so quickly and while on Herceptin!

I thought Herceptin was the 'wonder drug'? I'm wondering if I should even bother with doing treatments at all if this cr*p is just going to keep coming back even with Herceptin?!

Thank you for letting me ask these questions, I hope to hear from you. I am supposed to begin treatment this week....but I don't know.......
