Herceptin after treatment--Stage I, II, IIIa or b

I have read many posts lately and i felt it easier to ask a new question than to go back and find all the women who fit this description.

I'd like to hear from the women who have had non-metastisized tumors and are receiving Herceptin for a longer time period (one year or whatever it may be) after all their other treatments are finished (surgery, chemo, radiation).

If you fit this description, can you tell me:

1. Where you are and the name of your doctor

2. What data was used to support this decision (articles, studies, etc.)

3. Any other helpful info that I can use to finalize my case to get Herceptin for a year.

I received Herceptin with Taxol & Carboplatin for three months before my mastectomy and three months after. I am now in the middle of six weeks of radiation. Since my tumor was large, I had node involvement, and I am ER/PR negative, I feel strongly that Herceptin is my only option. The odds are around 95% that some of my cancer cells left my breast and node area.

I also am pre-menopausal and don't have the correct HLA typing to get into one of the vaccine trials, at least right now.

thanks!
