Talk to your oncologist about it.

I began herceptin 4 months after all my chemo- some women on this site began Herceptin a year or two after chemo. Some docs would rather "wait" to see if you develop mets before they put you on Herceptin.

For me, being HER2 positve was enough reason to get on it. Get as much info as possible for yorself- only you can make that decision...

Stay well,

Maria
