Thanks for explaining the test. I do get tested every 3-4 months, but my Onc. is foreign and when I ask him "?'s", he just says, "You're alright. Don't worry!" I'm asking the nurse for copies from now on. I want to see my #'s. What other tests do you get beside the Blood Chemistry Profile ?? My sister who had BC,not HER2+, asked her onc. about herceptin, and he said that without herceptin a person has a 30% chance the cancer will not come back----- and a 40% chance with the Herceptin. 10% difference. When you reverse that, it looks a bit grim. I did read where someone was taking a vaccine (clinical trial) to increase their odds at Walter Reed, but I can't remember where I saw it.---Check that out--kat
