Someone in another posting put it best. Breast cancer is like Russian Roulette. 10 chambers, 9 in the chamber and for everything we do to fight it, remove a bullet...Herceptin is another. I was dx 2/1/05 w/ Stage 1, Grade 3, node neg, ER/PR-, Her2+. Partial mastectomy on 2/7/05, finished 6 rounds of dose dense TEC (Taxotere, Epirubicin and Cytoxan) on 5/18/05, 33 rads on 8/1/05. When I originally saw my onc he said that he wouldn't do Herceptin as I am "weakly" Her2 but, 2 weeks after rad, told me that he was proposing a year of it every 3 weeks. Go for it.
