I went to a BC support group run by Duke last night and was the only one of 10 women who was Her2 positive; they had no idea what I was talking about. I felt like we Her2 positives were underrepresented there.

I asked my onc about the studies showing 50-52% decrease in recurrence on Herceptin and she said that "we know Herceptin works for +++'s, it's the + and ++'s that are in question." So, as a +++ woman I'm feeling rather fortunate to have Herceptin in my arsenal.
