Michele:

I am Stage IIB, I started A/C in February 2004 and finished Taxol in May 2004. In June 2004 I started off-label Herceptin at my request and finished my first year June 2005. I went right on to my second year which will run until June 2006. I had approched my oncologist in April 2005 about a second year as he likes to think about non standard therapy before he agrees to it. I really like my oncologist as he listens to his patients and is sensitive to the anxiety that cancer creates.
