I, too, am interested in receiving Herceptin "off protocol." I've discussed it with my onc and he suggested waiting until the information starts coming in on the Herceptin trials. He said that information would be available probably in May.
I pray that the mets never come, but would sure like to try Herceptin, knowing that I did gave it my best shot.
Questions:
Why did your onc suggest Herceptin to you? I would think that most oncologists would not bring it up unless the patient is asking for Herceptin. You are very lucky.
What about the cost? I've read that Herceptin off protocol is $2,200 per shot.
Thanks for your help.
