I began Herceptin in February 2007. Have been NED since completing it and chemo. Have remained on. Spoke to my onc last week about going off. Not that I'm anxious to do that. She encouraged me to stay on. Because I was Stage IV from the git go, and it had gone into my liver and bones.

I have an easy time with it. Runny nose, bad nails. Don't really know whether it is affecting my energy level. Since, some lessening of my energy is thankfully due to age.

I am very grateful and am awfully happy to be here and to be discussing making the choice.
