Herceptin No More !!!!!!
Have just been taken off Herceptin, after, having been on it for nearly 4 years....
I am a 2 times survivor, my first cancer ( Breast ), rearing its ugly head 6 years ago. Result... Lft breast Mastectomy 2001
2 years later I found to my horror, that it had returned. Same side, chest wall...
What I have since been told, is, that I have had two different kinds of Cancer, the first was Hormone sensitive and I went through a severe clinical trial called..Taxotere.., ( It nearly killed me )
The secondary was protein based and after tests proved to be Her2 +++
I qualified for Herceptin, ( The wonder drug ) and it has worked miracles....
Cos I am Here......
I have since been taken off Herceptin and put on a drug called " Femara" A Hormone based drug....
My problem now is.......! what type of Cancer will come back.. If its Gonna .!!!!!! Anyway, What I really want to say is ......If your on Herceptin, Keep your chin up, cos this drug is the major breakthru. Keep well and keep informed x best wishes to all Geri xx
p.s. God Bless
