Re: Sisters with Mets...should I stop Herceptin?
StephN! How joyful to hear you are still NED! Angels sing! Life is good! NOTHING beats a boring normal scan result!
I think you are right about the 7/8 years NED mark; but as you say, stay tuned; I will post what the Sloan folk say.
And Chelee thank you for the clarification on Jackie. It helps to know the facts.
I will post after seeing Dr. at Sloan.
Love Kim from CT
