Herceptin works differently on a microscopic level than the chemo drugs. Those chemos interrupt the cell division at different stages, the Herceptin locks on to the outside of the cell and attempts to keep it from dividing. With different substances working inside as well as outside the cancer cells, we have a better chance of killing the little deamons.
Hopefully the Herceptin can do its job as long as you need it to. I have been maintained on Herceptin and Zometa for 22 months now and feel pretty darn good!
