Although I have been reading this site, and found it really helful and reassuring, since April 06 when I started my year of Herceptin, this is my first post. I am (I would imagine) considered 'early stage' and am ER+ Oe+ P- and no lymph node involment. I have also just embarked upon a five year Arimidex course. My question is - what happens when I stop Herceptin? If it is doing all these good things at the moment, won't they all start up again when I stop? I am I suppose really looking forward to finishing but also a little frightened. Any words of wisdom would be gratefully received. Many, many thanks. Jane (in France!)
