Herceptin User

I started Hercetin Halfway through my Taxol . I had 6 taxols with herceptin and then 6 herceptins alone each week for 12 weeks plus radiation after an intial masct. too. I am still taking Herceptin, but a stronger dose just every 4 wks now. My Onc. said to take it for at least a year. He is foreign and doesn't give me alot of details, tho. My husband is a pharmacist-- well, he just says that the drugs are the SAme anyplace you go for chemo.
I want to know HOW long do people survive With or Without the Herceptin as a norm??? My foreign Onc., just says, don't worry!!!!! (NO EXPanations) Either he thinks I'm to stupid to understand, or he just can't explain it in English. CAN ANYBODY OUT THERE HELP ME????????????????????kat
