HI Joan,
At the moment Herceptin appears to be working. I do not believe there is any need to add anything until you need to. There is also a very slight chance that you will not need to progress to another drug. If you are having scans and tumor markers taken, I would try and relax and hope that Herceptin works for a long time.

I have now been on Tykerb and Herceptin for over a year and wonder how long it is going to continue to work. It is difficult to live with this uncertainty.

Best ,
