Hi Steph, I have too decided to take the philosophy that I will not let this keep me from living or ruining what time I have left here. Hopefully it will be long. I have chosen to stay positive and have fun. I have not reached the point where I am near ready to get off Herceptin, it's been 3-1/2 years. My mugas are still great and it's not that big of a deal to me anymore to go get it. I am sure hoping that we will see a lot of us stage IV'ers being "cured" or as close as you can get to that. sherryg683
