Hi:

I am also Stage I, grade 3, er +, her2+, and had a lumpectomy. I had 4 rounds of AC chemo. I had the oncotype test and it came back in the high risk. I finished chemo on Sept 7, and I have 2 more weeks of radiation left. I was premeno before all this started (I"m 47). I'm going to start herceptin on nov. 30, every 3 weeks. They are going to put me on faslodex for the hormone therapy. My oncologist said this works better with the her2+ status. I guess it'll be given once a month by injection. Good Luck to you
