To all of you who replied to my question, many thanks. I am making an appointment to discuss my treatment plan further with my oncologist and will seek a second opinion if he does not want to pursue looking into this further. Since this recurrence, I have suspected that my estrogen status has been a real factor is all of this. I did take a tamox derivative for 5 years and the cancer recurred the year I stopped the meds. That medication did not put me into menopause which my onc thought would be the case. I had an FSH level done a month ago and wasn't anywhere close to being near menopause Anyway, thanks very much to all of you for taking the time to reply. I am going to further explore the possibility of getting the Herceptin but my gut tells me that my estrogen status is the major culprit here. Thanks again and blessings to all of you.
