Carol still doing fine. She started to walk again this summer. She has been off IT herceptin for last 16 months now. Last MRI and CT scan done in May showed she is still NED and stroke clearing more and more. Quality of life getting better day by day. Will scan brain again next week. She is only taking 6mg/kilo IV herceptin and nothing else. Been taking this only treatment for past 16 months now. She has lost 35 kilos in 16 months. Now standing at 77 kg.
