Hi, I don't post alot, just once in awhile. However, yesterday I had a doctor's appointment and my doctor and I were discussing my case. She told me last year that I am considered NED (no evidence of disease). I was diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic disease in April '99. It will be 5 years since that diagnosis this coming April. I have been on Herception for almost 4 of those years. I am also taking Femara for the same amount of time. She told me that they are seeing more and more women like me and are starting to wonder if Herceptin is actually a cure for women who overexpress the HER-2Neu gene. I am just curious to know if anyone else has heard of this or if there are any studies going on the assess this. Metastatic Stage IV BC has never been cured, but she said it is almost unheard of for someone with this disease to go so long without any progression of disease. Is there anyone else here experiencing the same thing? Thank you
