Dont make the mistake I did...I was very comfortable as I had no positive nodes...even though I was Her2 3+.....then 1 1/2 years later I had mets to the nodes above my collar bone...like Lolly...I wish I had been given the Herceptin before I experienced mets...they cant possibly get every lymph node in the area...I would push for it, the Herceptin...if you cant get it, be your own advocate and monitor yourself closely...push for scans and exams and bloodwork...chances are you will do fine, many do, but be aware of your body....mets caught early are more treatable!
