Dear Victoria, hello! and welcome to this board. Just wanted you to know that I am also from the Cleveland area (Shaker Heights) and was successfully treated at the Cleveland Clinic for my stage III breast cancer over three years ago...I had a large tumor, 11+ lymph nodes, ER- and Her2+...I was given A/C, followed by weekly Taxol, radiation and 52 weeks of Herceptin under a clinical trial. I think that the Adriamycin really worked for me, as well as the Herceptin...I have always trusted my onc. at the Clinic and would encourage you to take the Herceptin if offered --I do think it is the best thing right now for us Her2+ gals...Good luck with your treatment, whatever you decide. And I would also recommend having a port-a-cath inserted if you are going to be getting weekly IV , it makes things so much easier, in fact I still have mine in since I go to the clinic for bloodwork every 6 months....
Best of luck, Audrey
