I was also kind of surprised that Herceptin wasn't because I was strongly positive for HER-2. I haven't even seen my oncologist yet, so I'm waiting to ask her all of those questions. Thank you, everyone. I can honestly say that everyone here has been wonderful, especially with a man who really has no clue of what he is talking about but trying to learn!
