When I was first dx. with recurrance I went to see my origional rad. onc. He was to give me rad. tx. after my lumpectomy 14 1/2 years ago. I never had a lumpectomy because my breast surgeon could not get clean margins. Anyway, I remember my rad. onc. saying "if you were going to have an aggressive cancer, her2 was the best kind to have". At the time I thought I only had 6 months to live. That was 2 years ago. I havn't been able to manage this disease with herceptin alone, but have had stable disease using a combination of drugs. Blessings. Lu Ann.
