NED for 2 years and 3 months. Just had my second follow up after the end of my 1 year Herceptin. I feel very good and I even think my stamina is returning. This is a very hopeful post that I would have been happy to read when I was first DX.
If a recurrence shows up, I plan to fight it off just like the other warrior women and good souls on our Her2 site. (easy to talk big now that I feel good
My oncologist will see me every 4 months. He relies on my report to him, a hands-on exam and tumor markers. I am happy to report that my tumor marker was a 7. (I think he considers anything under 40 to be normal and markers can also give false readings.) I will get a pet scan or similar if I complain of aches and pains and anything new that does not feel right.
Hugs to all, Catherine
