Damn I'm stuck in Canada and just found out today that I'm Her2 positive, I kind of fiquired and had Tender and Otter review my path report today, but I'm in total shock that I have to have for a year 18 treatment every three weeks. Can anyone tell about your Herceptin treatments and please don't worry about scaring me I've already been through FEC and Docetaxel, but this is new to me and I'm worried, a year is a long bloody time.  I wish I could get my hands on the Invirogen bc test, love to know if the herceptin will make a difference or not.  A whole year of this again I'm stunned, speecless and just want to walk in circles.  Shit maybe I'll vaccuum instead. Anyone please tell me how you did, and if you think it will scare other could you pm me. Thank you so much.  Snowy

I'm so sorry to hear that you are HER2+.  I know from your previous posts that you were concerned about this.

Since you are in Canada, you might want to ask about some of the Ontario clinical trials currently recruiting for Herceptin patients.  Here is a list:
