The Herceptin is more effective when provided in tandem with your chemotherapy (a "synergistic effect").
Rate of recurrance is much lower when Herceptin is taken with chemo and if taken after chemo- it still helps, but not as intensely. good for you that you are getting it with your chemo.
This website provides boundless info on Herceptin... epsecially the info from current women on the drug- This has really helped me know more about how to treat this hideous disease.
I am ER+5% and PR - 42 yrs old
That little 5% may or may not make a huge difference but the onc still put me on Tamoxifen...
Good luck with your treatments-
