Herceptin questions
I was wondering if herceptin is considered to work for the majority of hers2+ bc paitents. Is that a true statement? Just curious, since I am a stage 111'er and have almost a year of herceptin left. It seems that for mets, drs are able to tell if herceptin is working because scan are done. I guess for stages 1-3 we just have to assume that it is working. Is that correct?
I know herceptin is considered a wonderful treatment and I am so glad it is available to us. I hope it knocks my stage 111 cancer into oblivion.
Thanks,
Faith In Him
