These 2 web sites provide information on a clinical study for women with Her2 positive Breast Cancer which includes a drug called Herceptin. Herceptin has been proven to shrink & significantly slow down tumors that have spread to other areas of the body. It is hoped that using Herceptin along with Standard Chemo in women who have NOT had spread beyond the breast will prevent a re-occurrence.
