Hi Amazing Group,

My MUGA score is improving, up from 52 to 61, but - because it took 4 months to come back up my oncologist said it wouldn't be worth it for me to go back on. My year of herceptin would have been up in Oct. and she doesn't start over from where I left off, so I would only have one more treatment. She said the FinHer results along with the fact that the HERA study was on Herceptin given long after chemo instead of concurrently was basically supporting that I had enough with 7 months worth. Also I am early stage, only 1 node. Hope she's right.

So, I am ready to celebrate - I'M DONE!!!!!!!!!

I think I'll just plan a trip to Miraval and Las Vegas!

Have a great day,

Donna
