In reply to Becky's post.....
I've always wondered that Becky.....why in tarnation we DON'T receive herceptin as maintenance. It has always seemed logical to me and still does. I always ask myself...... "self, why did your cells over produce the her2 protein in the first place and why in the world won't it again?" Ya, I've changed things in my life....alot of things BUT "ain't perfect yet"  Sometimes I wish I could demand herceptin as maintenacne - but of course, my insurance company would just say "oh, sure Mary Jo...anything for you!" 
Oh well...just wanted to say that.....
Mary Jo
