When Dxed with her2+++, an aggressive bc, knowing you can take the herceptin can benefit your overall tx. and prognosis, by blocking that her2 gene from cancer progression . Statistics are now showing better survival for women with her2+ than women who don't overexpress her2. Herceptin has been a successful stronger tool for the Onc's to use in combination chemo tx's with minimal side effects. Alot of women previous to the approval of herceptin had a poor prognosis;and now we live with a better quality of life as well. Herceptin has been a life saver over the past 51/2 years and more in cinical trials in the late '90's.
