Thanks so much for this thread! I have had 6 months of Herceptin. Just found out my EF dropped from 65 at baseline to now 52. I'm strongly considering stopping at 6 months permanently instead of waiting and doing a rechallenge. My tumor was only 3 mm, so treatment was controversial to begin with. If anyone has any additional info on stopping Herceptin early, I'm all ears. Glad to see this new study to help back up the FinHer trial. Wish the 6 month data was already in...thank you to those of you participating in the Persephone trial.
