I finished my original chemo in Sept 2004. I had Taxotere/Carboplatin and Herceptin every three weeks. I followed with radiation until the end of Nov 2004. In december I started back up on Herceptin every three weeks. I have been NED since the end of original chemo. I still get blood work every three weeks along with Herceptin. I get PET scans every three to four months. My dx was stage IV HER2 +++ er+/pr+ 8/16 nodes+ and a spot on my liver. I have read about people who go off the Herceptin and the cancer comes back so they go back on and it works. There are people out there that have been on Herceptin for 10+ years and it is working. I guess everyone has to make their own decisions and choose what path is best for them. Take care and do what you think is best. Keep asking theses ladies questions. This site is very knowledgeable and up on the very latest. Sally
