I'm 11 years and 6 months out from diagnosis, never had Herceptin, because it was not yet available in my country for people with such small tumors. I had hormonal tx though. So far no recurrences.

So for those who didn't get Vit H and worry about it: there's a small benefit, but there's still a good chance that you will do fine without it.

Having said that, I think people should have a choice. My doc said that I was lucky that I didn't qualify, because I might have developed heart problems unnecessarily. But if it had been available, I probably would have opted to try it.
