Dear Pat,

This is a very similar situation to what's going on at our clinic. Our onc told us that they have re-tested cancer samples for HER2 and were in the process of calling up 30 past patients who are "cured" and offering them 12 months of herceptin. People are really struggling with this issue.

Having read many personal and professional reports on this board for almost 2 years I can only say " DO IT AND DON'T WAIT!!" This may be that extra little kick your body needs to stave off a re-occurance.

Good luck,
Al
