Hello Rhonda,

I was stage 1, 1.2 cm, node negative, ER/PR neg. HER2 +++ strong.
I had ACx4 and 33 rads. I finished treatment 12/23/04, but chemo was finished end of September.
When I found out they would probably approve herceptin for early stage BC in November, I was ready to jump on the wagon. My oncologist had me tested for HER2/neu by FISH and It came back plus, so I was ready to start herceptin, 13 months after chemo.
Hope this is helpful! BTW... I had a lumpectomy! Clean margins!
