Rinaina - what a nice name. My daugher's name is Raina.

Here's another good site for Herceptin

Rhonda - your diagnosis is similar to mine.

Though my treatment differed in that I didn't have Taxol.

Did other stage 1 women not have Taxol? It seems I'm in the minority for this.
I'm stage 1 (2 tumors - total size 1.05cm, extensive DCIS), node neg., er/pr-, her2+, grade 3

I had a masectomy (margins not clean on lumpectomy)
4 DD A/C and am on a year of Herceptin
