the stats I know are different. For about 1/3 of us with HER2 pos cancers, Herceptin doesn't do the trick. Combining it with a chemo does help those for whom Herceptin works.

My onc said, when asked, that Herceptin has greatly increased the length of time for Her2 survivors.

So, don't worry. Do all you can and keep up the positive thoughts.

Love and light,
