Question Question about a post......

Hello,

A post under the "support......" topic, started by me (marejo) and one of the respondants being micheleu said "my onc. told me they have not had ANYONE recur in 5 years on the herceptin trial." She went on to say that "she had to ask several nurses because she didn't believe it and they confirmed that." Is that really true? I've never heard anything quite that encouraging about herceptin. Of course being an early stager that had a clear PET scan (other than breast of course) when initially diagnosed - having gone through my mastectomy's, chemo, rads and herceptin (finish Oct. 11 with herceptin) I would sure love to believe that is true.

Please share what you know!

Thank you,

marejo

P.S. Micheleu - I'm not doubting you - just never heard that and wondered who else had heard it.
