Hi Georgie~
While I don't have any specific advice or knowledge to offer, rest assured that someone here will!
I'm inclined to assume that an ER neg tumor during pregnancy (when hormone levels are surging) is actually a good thing...?
But like I said, I'm certainly no authority-just hold tight, one of the wonderfully wise women (& men) will post here to offer you insight you can feel confident about!
Nonetheless, congratulations to you & your family. What a lovely gift. I pray you're able to enjoy this pregnancy w/comfort & optimism.

Keep the Faith~

Hi Georgie,
Just wanted to share that I remember reading about Stephanie Spielman (wife of football star Chris Spielman), who got pregnant while taking Herceptin and had a healthy baby girl (named Audrey!) --anyway, you can read about her story here" www.jamesline.com look for "Ask Stephanie" and you can e-mail her with questions about her experience. Best of luck to you!

Georgie:

Stephanie Speilman was on herceptin when she got pregnant with one of her children (her 3rd??). There isn't a lot of information, I know the vaccine trials want you to be sterile to qualify, but vaccines stay in your system a lot longer. Her baby was fine. You might go to this site and shoot her an email.

The story:

Also, there was a lady on the YSC site named Karen who hasn't been on for more than a year. She also was on herceptin when pregnant. You might try sending her an email or PM:

Her son was also fine, just delivered early. I think the same thing happened with Stephanie. Hope that helps.
