To the person who mentioned the salvage thing>>> If you have her-2 with whatever else you have as I guess you must as you are joining us in these her-2 discussions, I would question whether you have ever simply gone off everything and given PURE HERCEPTIN a try combined with a nutritious diet. It sure "salvaged" me and beats anything traditional chemo offers. I am er/pr neg, her-2 3+ had mets everywhere...but now doing so well...8 years OUT. Herceptin gave me my life back. I work, raise my son (I'm a single parent). I have not taken traditional chemo since '98, before Herceptin was released. I have had a LOT of experience with it, being among the first to uh..."test" it ... smile . Would love to help anyway I could. My home email is
GPopp@Comcast.net. Best of luck, Gina
