I'm posting this hopefully for encouragement to those of you who did not receive herceptin.

I was dx IDC 3/03, 39 years old, er+/pr+, her2+++, 2 tumors in same breast 2.5 and 2.8 cm. 1 node with mets. Stage IIB. Rt. mastectomy with reconstruction followed by 4 AC and 4 Taxotere. Had my ovaries removed and began Femara after the chemo was finished. For several reasons I chose not to enter the herceptin trial....a little more than 2 years later, I am NED!!!

However, in light of the new studies, I am going to get a few opinions about receiving the herceptin now. JUst hope this puts some nerves at ease for those of you worried that you didn't get the herceptin.
