Sisters with Mets...should I stop Herceptin?

[kstrahm]

Just thought I would pop in and let everyone know that my Herceptin holiday continues. My last set of scans were A-OK! This makes about 10 months off of the Herceptin. The toxic neuropathy has improved but not completely ~ the onc. says some of the damage may be permanent.

I have scans on March 15 but have been having some intestinal issues and weight loss as well as some pain in the liver area. This may be due to the fact I have been on antibiotics for 2 weeks for an infection. If it keeps acting up I will call the onc. and see about moving the scans up.

Hoping and praying it is nothing and I can continue on this Herceptin break!! Wishing you all well!!

Hugs,
