I have to agree with everyone else..if you can get it, take it...it seems to be a preventative towards recurrence...I was stage 1 3 years ago, node neg, Her2 3+, ERPR neg, tumor size was 0.7 cm....at that time, Herceptin was only given to node positive women or after recurrence. I received it after I had a recurrence to the lymph nodes 1 1/2 years later and I havebeen on it ever since. The side effects are minimal compared to the benefit. I often wonder if I had been given the Herceptin early on if I'd be a stage IV today!
