Mary Anne in Texas;
I don't know very much about the study and am so new with Herceptin.
However, I know a woman (42) stage 4, will be on Herceptin for the rest of her life.
You mentioned your insurance company has stopped covering your continuing with Herceptin...that just doesn't seem right. Can you appeal that decision, can your treatment center (oncologist) get involved?
However, and I don't know if you mentioned you are taking a aromotose inhibitor like Femara or Arimidex, perhaps the Herceptin you were being given did the necessary job it was supposed to and you are good to go.
Sorry I haven't been much help.
Best to you,
robind
