My name is, Karen and I live in California. I was diagnosed, January, 05 with a 1.3cm, er/pr+, node negative, grade3, Her2+++ tumor. I completed, dose dense, June 29th and rads in September. I started Herceptin in July and just had my 6th treatment on Monday. I will be on Herceptin for one year (treated every three weeks). I had asked for Herceptin back in May when I started Taxol, but my onc told me I didn't need it. I went and got 2nd and 3rd opinions and when I went back to talk to my onc about it, he had, had a change of heart.

Thanks for starting this thread, Michele!
