I am one of those people that Lee speaks of. Although because of my age and my daughter, I opted for the recommended chemo my onc suggested because of the agressiveness of my cancer, I did not get Herceptin. I wonder everyday if this would have made a difference for me with my reoccurence. My personal feeling is that you should be agressive as possible with what treatment is offered you early on. The side effects are certainly worth the increase in percentages or years if you look at it that way.
