Cathy -
If you read my story (Stephanie), you know that Herceptin is a very big part of the reason I am still here! My med onc would NEVER take me off! Only in the event that there is a vaccine or other drug that could really provide a cure for me. I will see him in another 9 days for my 3-month check. We may discuss the vaccine again, but he really does not want to "experiment" with me as I am so stable (NED) for nearly 2 years now. My case has gone successfully beyond his early expectations and he wants to keep me that way!!
I hope you can remain on Herceptin as long as you want. Second opinion is a definite in that case if you cannot argue your present doc into keeping you on it.
My quality of life is very good now and I am getting close to back to normal.
