15 year survivor
I was Her2 positive and opted out of
Herceptin
. At the time, it was new and causing heart failure. At 45 years old and with children only 11 and 7 at the time, I could have been totally cured of my breast cancer, but not able to physically keep up with my boys. My husband continues to be my rock.

Why is a Mastectomy Needed?
I have had 3 rounds of treatment so far with Perjeta/
Herceptin
/ Taxotere. Tumour has completely shrunk away so far. My question is if there is no sign of an active tumour at the end of the 6 rounds then why is a mastectomy needed? I am 46 yrs old.

Stupid Question ?
Ladies I have been told I am Er+ and Hr2+, and will receive
Herceptin
. But what about Tamoxifen ? Is it a case of one or the other? Or the one they feel best fits your cancer. I feel this may be a stupid question but wanted to ask thanks.

Please kindly help choose chemotherapy and location
This doctor recommends AC every 2 weeks for 4 cycles and Paclitaxel every week for 12 weeks with
Herceptin
every 3 weeks. The Paclitaxel seems very aggressive and not sure about it.

HER2+
I am currently doing well and now receive
Herceptin
and Perjeta every 3 weeks. Initially, I was given these two drugs with Abraxane but stopped taking Abraxane after 6 months.

Hello! I'm a newbie!
Starting Abraxane tomorrow along with
Herceptin
which I've been on since the beginning. I would welcome any comments from those who are currently on or have taken Abraxane. This will be my first taxane drug. Previously on Perjeta, Navelbine, Kadcyla and Xeloda. Thanks everyone!

Stage 4 and some advice please.
Would love to know any other similar programmes for either
herceptin
or perjeta. I am aware of couple of other companies in India, who manufacture biosimilars and can see the recent battle win court, which is very interesting.
