I just want to say thanks for starting this thread Kimberly. I keep learning from others here which helps me be better equipped at my onc visits. Once again, thank G-d for this forum. I am still on Herceptin but already think about the what if's once I complete my year on it. I have gained a lot of confidence from all of you in handling my treatment and care and would never hesititate to ask for something from my doctors if I felt I needed it. I am however, still on the fence about routine scans and certain tests being an early stager. I am a bit apprehensive about the effects of routine scanning. Many friends and family members ask me how or when will I know that I am cancer free and I myself am not sure of the answer. Care to shed any light on the answer to this question?
