The HERA trial used Herceptin after chemo (all different types of chemo) was completed and although the final results aren't in yet, the trial is showing a 46% cut in recurrence. I am receiving Herceptin after completing dose dense AC & T. I started 2 weeks after my last Taxol. I had a 1.3cm tumor, no lymph node involvement, stage 1. I had to push for the Herceptin because my doc said I didn't need it with my early stage and good prognosis.
If you want to find information on the HERA trial, got to breastcancer.org and type in HERA trial.
