Karenann;
I believe that regardless of how you are staged herceptin should be taken. The problem is they really don't seem to know how much. I am supposed to be back on again and am stage 3c but her2 cancers like to travel and are aggressive so I would insist on being monitored going forward very closely. One good thing about being off for a while is that I assume when we go back on they will give us a loading dose again which will really knock out any cancer that has been lurking and building. I am going to get these tumor markers done while off and then again once I start to see the difference. It should be interesting.
What I can't get over is this swelling in my off hand. Did you ever find out what causes this? I am a little bit nervous of the brain scan but absolutely know I should have it and am grateful to get it....but...just a little part of me worries...lol.
Best regards,
Cathy
