Will I, Wont I !!!!!!
Today I met with my Oncologist to discuss wether I should remain on Herceptin.
DX July 2001 Grade 3 agressive Tumour....
Mastectomy, August 2001 x 3MTHS A/C +ADJ CHEMO.. TAXOTERE/ FOLLOWED BY 1YR tAMOXOFEN (DIDN'T WORK)
Secondary appeared on chest wall ( same side) ..Vinoralbine/Herceptin...
Tumour dissappeared rapidly
Prognosis.. Stop herceptin and the Cancer could come back...!
Prognosis... Keep on with Herceptin / and the Cancer could still come back....
I have been on Herceptin only, for 3.5 yrs..( They tell me, I am the longest on this drug, in the West of Scotland...Therefore, they don't know the long term effects.
I am now being prescribed with Femera (Letrozole)
Any sugestions or info, no matter how small, would be gratefully appreciated
