Hello All,
Has anyone elected to take Herceptin who had early stage BC with the following condition.
Estrogen +
Progesterone +
Her2 +
Tumor 1cm or less
Lymph node -- (negative)
The Herceptin website seems to rule out the use of their product under those conditions? A patient with those conditions would only be a candidate for their drug had there been one "high risk factor", which is a tumor "greater than 2cm". See
HERE
In contrast, BreastCancer.org cites a study stating it can be beneficial to early stage breast cancer patients even if the cancer is less than 1cm. See
HERE.
All input is appreciated.
God Bless,
Ralph
