You really need to speak to your onc about maintenance. Maybe a hormonal will be enough for you?? I Have been doing Herceptin, Caboplaten and Taxatere. I have been NED since last April (geez - almost a year!!), and my onc has me still doing chemo with no plans of letting up. I will continue until this plan doesn't work anymore. Now mind you, I have inflammatory BC and my onc is very aggressive with me. Everything is a guessing game at this point. We are making the new stats for the future...
