Thank you for posting this article. One of the difficulties is lack of data about how long stage 4 NED patients should remain on herceptin.Clearly now we are some years into herceptin use this information is overdue. I hope someone somewhere will start looking at the data.I was also told that if herceptin was stopped the most likely time for relapse was 4-6 months later but am unsure how true that is?
Many thanks
Ellie
