WOW, that goes against everything we've been told. You are right, herceptine works best in combination and if your Mom is HER2+, then unless there are some cardio problems, she should probably be on it forever. She must have her heart checked with a MUGU scan before she starts herceptine.
For a second opinion, (which I would get ASAP), I would phone the Sunnybrook Regional Cancer Centre. Phone Gabby at the New intake office at 416-480-5369. I would ask for an appointment with doctor Maureen Trudeau; she is the best there is. You may need your family physician to give her a referral but maybe not.
Good luck
Al
