My recurrance was 2 years out. I was node negative with a 2cm er/pr- HER2+++ tumor. I was not allowed Herceptin either. Now with liver and bone mets, I wish to God I would have pressed harder for it. Bottom line was, I would have had to go to a different Onc back in Oct of 2004 to get the Herceptin. Now that Oncs are allowing it for early stage'ers, why not give it a try? Heart problems seem very managable. I feel such guilt for not switching my Onc to get the Herceptin. It's not worth that guilt. It's your life.
