I started herceptin in June -- 9 months after finishing 4 A/C/ and 4 taxol- the results of the clinical trials were around April or May and were so positive about big drop in recurrance, they were offering it to those who were considered early stage 1 an 2 . I'm stage 2B. My onc. and I were back went back and forth and I finally decided to go for it because the cardiac side effects are something like 4% which is pretty low considering the positive results- drops the recurrance rates by a whopping 52 %. I'm happy with my decision- I've had no side effects to speak of thus far.
