Here's MY 2 cents
"My Dr's really don't think i need it, but i'm considering fighting for it." As ALL of us, you've been fighting this thing all along to keep it from coming back, why stop now? I also agree with everything Kristen said about you...you are one of the "earlier, non met" pioneers and a lot of us look up to you. I hope you don't mind and I didn't attach a name to it, but I TOTALLY agree with you on a post you previously did refering to continuing Herception as maintanance indefinately, but rather than 3 mo than 3 wks ( I SWEAR I read something that Herceptin will stay in your body 6 mo, but don't recall wear, I'll check around and see if I find something) and I copied part of it and sent it to Genentech to see if there were any plans for a trial as such because the logic is there. I would CALL Genentech and ask if they are aware of any trials that you may qualify for. I'm Stage 1 and knowing your Stage 3, I can see all your concern. I'm HOPING that the results of the 2 yr are better than the 1 (all the more reason for continuation of the drug) and that the results will be out by the time my 1 yr is done in Aug. Please let us know what you find out. Good luck and good health.
