Beverly,

To attach your profile to your posts, go to "User CP" (under HER2 Support Group banner at the top of the page). Then go to Edit Signature, and just type in your info, click on Save and that's it; your info will show up on each post, even old ones! If you need to add or subtract info, just repeat process.

I think Herceptin will still be waiting in the wings for me, I don't see any reason not to reuse it as the reason my onc wanted to suspend it for now is there isn't enough data on interaction with Avastin for him to feel comfortable.

Herceptin has served as the "Backbone" of my treatment strategy for over 6 years, giving me great quality of life. In 2005, I was privileged to participate in the University of Washington/Seattle HER2 Vaccine Trial.
