Hi Mary Ann,

It is good you are here to get as informed as you can. I would push for Herceptin. It has showed promising results in the adjuvant (early) b.c. setting. That is interesting that he wants to use Xeloda this early. That is probably because you are er/pr -. I think you should save the "big guns for later", but to be honest I don't know much about Xeloda in early stage. I would have to research it. I have been visiting this board for about a year now and this is the first I hear of it. Maybe someone else will be able to give you more info. But get Herceptin, even if you have to get a new onc. to do it.

Take care,
Anne
