Hello,
thank you for answering. I'm a little disappointed that only one person answered.
I've been on Herceptin for 5 years and 5 months, starting March, 2004.
I notice that you only had 1 year of Herceptin but your cancer was stage 1 so that's normal. I was stage 1 in 1999 and not given Herceptin for that reason. 2004 I had a recurrence and it had spread outside the breast so I was put on Herceptin with the possibility of being on it for life.
thanks Suzan and wish you continued NEDism!
