Need help in my arguments

[Sherryg683]

I go to see my oncologist in a couple of weeks. He kind of shocked me the last time by mentioning that it was time that I stopped all this" I think the Herceptin I've been taking weekly for almost 2 years now". He's usually pretty good about giving me what I ask for but I'd like to have some strong arguments to put at him as to why I should stay on it forever (or until it quits working), I am stage IV. My first question to him will be...Oh are you saying I'm cured? Of which of course I"m not. He always says that he's never had a stage IV breast cancer patient stay disease free as long as I have with no slips...that will be another arguing point.Can any of you give me some better thoughts on this. Maybe something that other doctors have said or written that I can have all gathered together when I go in. I am not and will not be getting off my Herceptin, I feel I need it like a diabetic needs insulin. Just want to have my guns loaded so I can blast any questions he may have about how effective it is to stay on Hercepton indefinately..sherryg.
