early stage breast cancer and herceptin

[Berta]

I live in Southern Indiana, about an hour from Louisville, Ky. I am getting herceptin for Stage I. BERTA

I was diagnosed Jan 2005, Grade 2, node negative, 16-18mm tumour, ER+. I was advised rads only. Diagnosed before HERA trial results. Had 2 HER2 tests by different hospitals - one negative and one positve - I'm assuming I am positive (Long story!). Found it all out too late to have chemo so can't have Herceptin. I'm terrified of recurrence.

You were spot on Alaska Angel - there must be loads us out there that were diagnosed just at the wrong time.
