Thanks Lani.
I was diagnosed in Oct. 2006, and Herceptin had already been approved in Canada for early stagers. I was stage 1 triple+, node negative and there was no question that I was getting Herceptin, as well as chemo (FEC) with Taxotere. At the time, my oncologist said that was the best treatment for me.
I am over 7 years out now.

all the best
