Hi Lolly
Thanks for that info, I found it most interesting to get info from a different country. Think Herceptin has been in the US for quite a few years, right? Even between states here, there are different protocols, (even flushing portacaths there are differering views!!). Anyway, will let my husband see what you have written and then we can think about it more. I'd really like a break - I like the word 'holiday!' - just not having to go to the hospital, bad enough when I have to visit friends which seems to be quite frequently lately!
When you were in 'remission', was it really remission or were you stabilised, how often were you monitored before it recurred? ie how often did you see your onc and have scans done? Presently, I see mine every 9 weeks and scans done every 6mths.
Thanks Lolly
