Another option is to start Herceptin this week. They don't have to start you on chemo until you are healed. This is non-standard but stage 4 gals get Herceptin by itself all the time and they regularly do surgery on patients after they get chemo first (that's the neoadjuvant we are talking about). I was on Herceptin when I had my lumpectomy and sentinal nodes removed. That way you have more coverage than not. Insurance should pau for 12 months of Herceotin either way, what's a month or so in either direction?

There is more than one way to skin a cat.
