Christi,

Any news on why do you have to stop Herceptin? I received chemo first and then radiation, after that came Herceptin for a year. I could not stand the combination chemo-Herceptin, so my doctor had to wait till I finished everything to re-start with Herceptin. So far seems like I am doing fine. I will have my 3-month check up this coming February, I am getting anxious. Best of luck,

Paty
