Herceptin used when node neg?

Hi Tara,

I was diagnosed in Jan with stage 1, node negative, er/pr+, 1.3 cm tumor, Her2+++. I did AC &T dose dense, 34 rads, Aromaisn for 5 years and Herceptin for 1 year. My doctor said the same thing about the risk of congestive heart failure out weighing the benifit of herceptin with my early stage disease. I pushed and got the Herceptin. I have an ekg and echo every 3 months and so far, so good.

I hope this helps you with your decision.

Karen
