Jessica, thanks for answering me. I just read Joe's post, that only 30-35% of her2+ patients respond to Herceptin. I didn't know that. I was just diagnosied in Sept and when I started posting here all I read was Herceptin, Herceptin , Herceptin. the miricle drug. I didn't have the facts. So with that in mind I would be very foolish not to have the lumpectomy and rads. I really thought the response rate was much higher to the herceptin, obviously willing to put my life in it's hands. I feel foolish.Thanks for listening. Your response was very kind.
