I would agree that you would probably benifit from Herceptin. I don't know where you live, but it seems that the price of Herceptin varies wildly. You would do well to check around and see what other oncologists in your area charge. One woman posted that you could enjoy a trip to Orlando, Florida for your treatments and still save lots of money based on what other oncologists even in the same area charge! My impression is that you could save almost 1/2 the cost. It wouldn't help to look and make some calls. Let us know what you find. My insurance has not all cleared but it appears the Herceptin would be about $50,000 a year for weekly treatments.
