I am Stage 2A (1.9cm tumor and one node positive). The trial study results came out 3 months after finishing dense dose chemo (and one month after finishing rads) so I started Herceptin 4 months post chemo (at that time, the recommendation was to give node positive women herceptin who were 6 months post chemo. A bit later, that was changed to 12 months).


I have not heard of newly diagnosed women not getting herceptin with the taxol treatments and then out to a year.
