I don't think I explained my question very well - sorry! My sister will not do chemo (for may different reasons) and wanted to just do herceptin. She had microcalcifications removed from her breast in Dec. (HER2+) and the lymphnodes were clear. Her PET scan was clear. She did radiation. At her check up there were some spots on her lungs but the new PET scan hasn't changed from the last so she was told to just come back again in 3 mths. Her oncologist has no bed side manor and said the insurance companines will not pay for herceptin treatment without doing chemo too. Also, he said herceptin isn't really very effective unless you do it w/chemo. Thank you for any advice - she is only 36.
