I'd be interested to hear how many of you got Herceptin for early stage BC either before or after it came on the PBS about October 06. I was one of my oncologists first PBS patients.

Hi all, I was first diagnosed in Feb 09. I had Chemo and then Herceptin for 12 months. Tolerated all very well and was glad to finish. In Feb 11 my surgeon found a lump on my mastectomy scar line which turned to just be a local recurrence. When I say "just" - it was scarier this time than the first. I had to have a PET scan - it showed up nowhere else. So I am now on Herceptin for the forseeable future. I have had a port inserted and am having no dramas. Some days it is hard to be positive - but my friends and family keep me going.
