It is frustrating not to be able to look inside ourselves and watch the physical process that goes on, because it is so puzzling and uncertain and yet it goes on right here with us all the time.
I don't know what to think either about the choice you are considering, since of course even Herceptin doesn't work for everyone. I did drop off tamoxifen after my internist discussed the tamoxifen/HER2 issue with my oncologist, who recommended I switch to Arimidex.
I wonder in hindsight how long it takes for the tamoxifen/HER2 mechanism to "go to town" so to speak. I was on tamoxifen for over a year and quit last summer and am still NED. Well, at least as far as we ever know, I am.
There is still the question, though, whether you might want to simply add Herceptin as well to simple maintenance tamoxifen.
