Re: Stage 1, HER2 positive, chances of recurrence after Herceptin?
not want to scare you, but my wife had recurrence after one year of herceptin.
your question:
I'm confused as to what the risk of recurrence - local or distant - actually is for someone like me.
my wife had a recurrence at her lung and then later brain. now having Tykerb about two year.
just for your reference.
best wishes to you!
