This is very much on my mind since my onc has said this is my last year for Herceptin when I'm sure I heard him originally say for life. He tried to explain to me that Cancer needs to keep growing and doubling, etc and that the Herceptin stops that and the effect is to stifle the cancer and kill it because if it can't grow, it dies.
He used a plant analogy but I think seeds can lie dormant for a long, long time.
I like the idea of a booster periodically but protocols aren't there yet.
I'm glad I have a year to get used to the idea of being without it.
