I'm happy to see you are doing your research on herceptin. As I write to you, there is a BC conference {ASCO} that has news concerning the value of adjuvant Herceptin chemotherapy to benefit the possibility of recurrence.
In the recent past we were only offered Herceptin for Stage 4 women, but many have insisted to have Herceptin in early stages here and some doctors have consented being so encouaged by the drugs success. So if possible keep up your research on Herceptin and inform your Oncilogist of your findings.
Perhaps he too will join the new found benefit and will change his thinking. Taxol w/ Herceptin is an excellent chemo and helped many in stage 4 and also earlier stages . The results of the clinical trial are being released now and you can find it on our website soon.
My sincere best to your mom.
Hugs, Christine
