Val--
I recently brought this up with my Onc as well. She said that it had recently been the topic of hot conversation at their weekly conference, but for now, it is not protocol for early-stage Her2+ patients at my treatment center. However, I had the sense that if I pushed, my Onc would have sent me for one. (I was staged at IIIC). For now, while I'm finishing my year of Herceptin, I'm not pushing for it (I know this doesn't make a lot of sense, given that Herceptin does not cross the bb) but I'm in the mode of not borrowing trouble. I don't have any symptoms, and in genral, feel as though my care providers are extremely thoughtful and rigorous in their decision making (I'm treated at Sloan-Kettering).
BUT, if it is going to set your mind at ease, I hope you can get one.
Good luck,
Jen
