Saw Onc Today

Well, had an appt with my oncologist today, who reassured me that I will only be taking a break from herceptin. Muga last week went down to 47. I have a repeat Muga scheduled for the end of April. Then I see my Onc the beginning of May. If it doesn't increase enough, then we do the whole thing over again the next month. We will continue to do this until it increases to an acceptable level. Once it increases enough, we will start herceptin again.
