Laureen,
So happy for you to become a mummy and wish you all the best for your next arrival in june. I begun my herceptin with my 4th chemo taxatere and will continue to have herceptin for 12months, 1 infusion every 3 weeks. I will be having an echocardiagram every 3months to keep a check on my heart. I too wonder what will happen once the herceptin stops. The risk of recurrence is forever looming over me. But I keep reassuring myself that at present I am NED and hope it stays that way. I'm not going to kill myself worrying about something that may or may not happen. We are presented with the usual statistics by our consultants, mine said I would survive at least 10years!. 'is that all!' I said. One thing I have learnt is that BC is not a 'one size fits all' case.
