Right after Taxol I had 7 weeks of radiation while taking Herceptin once a week.

Completed once a week Herceptin in November of '02 and my oncologist stated I would continue with Herceptin once every three weeks for two more years. I will complete this in November of '04.

I have no mets and have had no recurrence as of this date and take one day at a time.
