How long on herceptin
Hi. I'm so glad to hear that Leslie is doing well. I had a very similar dx (I posted when you first came on this board) and finished my one year of herceptin this August. At that time, I asked my doc if a second year might be in order. She (my doc) called her experts at Sloan and somewhere else (one had been the head of one of the main herceptin trials) and they told her that all indications were that a second year of herceptin had NOT proved beneficial for non metastatic bc, and so one year was still the protocal. Since that time, I've seen posts from other women -- all confirming the same opinion.
I hope that helps.
Best,
L
