Re: 3 years + on Herceptin, Why

WOW Thank you for posting this, I could read these posts all night long. They give me so much hope! Thank you, Thank you!
My daughter has just finished her last chemo session Docetaxel (Taxotere®) She is Stage IV with mets to her spine. We have been told that she will be on Herceptin along with Zemeta indefinitely every 3 weeks. I have read some on Herceptin but it so fills me with joy when I read about the amazing people here that are still going strong after so many years.
I do have a question though. My daughter is only 22 years old, she is hoping and praying that one day she will be able to have her own children, however first her periods need to start again after the effects of the chemo and secondly will she ever be able to be off Herceptin long enough to carry a child?
Any information would be very much appreciated
