I had been diagnosed with salivary gland cancer (surgically removed) and have met's to abdominal lymph nodes and liver. I have been receiving Herceptin since Dec. 2010 to present (as a last-best shot at stopping the cancer)... my lymph nodes were very positive for her2 protiens. There has been significant shrinkage in ALL lymph nodes and liver lesions are 99% gone. Don't know what the future holds, ..but I am very encouraged and keep fighting the fight. I also feel good enough to return to all of my physical activities..and look forward to many more positive CT Scan & MRI reports. Thank the good Lord for hearing my desperate plea. I pray for all of us !
