The more i think about the 2 year Herceptin, and listen to all the dr. say no, they will probably decrease the length, not increase. That is true with chemo. Herceptin is not a chemo. It is a monoclonal antibody. this makes it DIFFERENT then other chemo. I can see the agruement that your body might get resistent to it, but i don't think they should put it in the same category as chemo. What does everyone else think?
