Tom,
Just tagging onto this thread again.
What Flori mentions is very vital regarding herceptin.
While I do not know of anyone getting herceptin in the DCIS stage this is an interesting topic. Knowing that
the Her2 is sitting there in the duct of the breast, at what point can a women push for herceptin treatment.
Off label maybe? This reminds me when early stage bc was not given herceptin. I would certainly explore this with her dr. Please do keep us posted on your friend
and I send my best wishes.
Kind Regards,
jean
