I was diagnosed in March 2003 stage IIb...2.5cm and 3 1cm or less with 2 positive nodes HER2 +++. I was in the control arm of the Herceptin study. I received AC x4, Taxol x4 and 7 weeks of radiation. After the study was stopped because of positive results, I asked if I could/should receive Herceptin but was told by my Onc. that I was outside of a year, so the protocol wasn't for me to receive any. I'm wondering if anyone out there is getting herceptin even though they were outside of the year cut-off, or if there are any studie looking at benefits of adding Herceptin to other women like me. At this point I am NED.
