I am stage one ER negative, PR negative, HER2 positive. My doctor prescribed TCH. Is there anyone that has stage one that has also taken her Perjeta with this chemo?

    ask about therapy with just taxol and herceptin. I just finished 12 weeks, with herceptin for the rest Of the year. It is approved and less toxic

    Yes. I had Herceptin and Perjeta before surgery (part of a clinical trial) and it totally shrunk my tumor. Now after a double mastectomy, I am doing Taxotere, Herceptin, and Perjeta. Then I'll continue on Herceptin to complete a full year. I think it depends on insurance. But my doctors said they see great results with Herceptin and Perjeta together.
