Hi -
There are some blanks in your timeline.
I take it that you have never had Herceptin, but are obviously Her2/neu positive. What degree - plus 2 or plus 3?

Looks like you are more than 2 years off chemo by now. Do you have some tumor reading that is going up? I am wondering because of the offer to add Taxol. This is usually not done unless you have been restaged due to disease progression of some kind.
But you state that you are still NED.
Therefore my confusion. Is this a trial for NED patients?

Anyway - good that the onc is offering you these options now.
