Thanks so much for the response. I was originally diagnosed in 2006, and after surgery, radiation, chemo and Herceptin went 3 1/2 yrs before the recurrence in my chest wall. I have been on Herceptin for 3 years now and am still status NED. My question I guess is because I keep seeing the news that 1 year of Herceptin is all you need and am trying to see how that applies to me. Joan, I believe your advice is wise since I have had the recurrence and will continue taking my 3 week rounds of Herceptin and be grateful :-)
