Re: not standard of care, but a new alternative adjuvant treatment emerging for T1ab-
This is exactly the treatment I received! My onc told me that Herceptin would work with any chemo, that I didn't need strong chemo........so he put me on 4 months of Navelbine (every two weeks) with Herceptin - then I continued the Herceptin every two weeks for the rest of the year. I am a three year survivor and all's well.........I know there's another woman on these boards who had Navelbine and Herceptin and she's doing very well too. It makes me happy to read that a study proves this protocol works well!
