hi maryanne--
I am taking Herceptin as a preventative drug--just started a couple weeks ago. It wasn't suggested by my oncologist--I made that call myself. There isn't anything else out there for ER/PR- Her2 patients, so what other option did I have??!?! As you can probably tell from the article I wrote (see BC article thread above), I have immersed myself in the science of all this and tend to call my own shots. I was stage 3 because of my tumor size and 5/8+ nodes, so it was pretty important to do SOMETHING after my regular treatments.
There is still a lot I don't know, and one of these days I will post some questions i have about treatment options...just haven't had time :-)
