Hi Christine -
I don't know why, with those path stats, you would not qualify to get herceptin anyway with the new reports showing such good results.
Your med onc should be approachable on this subject, and can write his recommendation for you to get herceptin so that your insurance would pay.

You state that you would have to pay for your treatment, but have you really checked this out thoroughly? You may have a copay, but should not have to pay for all the cost to get it for one year.

Go for it!
