Certainly will. I'm now going to also read the research on continuing with herceptin plus an additional drug so I will be armed with the info for my second opinion.I suspect that his sole reason for stopping it was cost based as there is considerable rationing going on in the NHS.You are probably aware that herceptin has only been nationally available here for early stage breast cancer since Nov 2006. We probably wouldn't have it yet but for some brave women challenging the Government in the High Court.
