I am finishing my herceptin soon also. Gee, the year went fast!
(I guess it is true that time flys when your having fun)

I will check with my onc. as to what he plans and not plans on?
But, for me I am certain that I will be doing some form of scan
at least once per year. We should also consider a Brain scan
at least once per year. Will update you. I am finding that most
dr. DO NOT recommend scans without some smyptons being
present. I know my onc. does not do markers.

I already have in place a schedule of breast MRI and Digital mammo.
every 6 months alternating between the two. (hoping that covers
any local recurrance issues if needed).

Congratulations on your up-coming completion of herceptin!
HUgs,
Jean
