Karen,
Thanks for the explanation! I am a retired operating room nurse but when it comes to cancer treatments I am out of touch. I feel very fortunate that the day I had my second surgery (to get a wider margin) was the day the news about the results of herceptin trial was released. My onc originally felt I was not a candidate because I was node negative but by the time I finished chemo he started me on herceptin every 3 weeks. I had a mammo last Wednesday and it was clear which was really reassuring. When I started this I was unaware that Her2+ was such an aggressive cancer and I really have been anxious about this.
