What about using the Bayer Serum Her2 test regularly to monitor when a booster of herceptin is needed? What if you started getting the test while on herceptin to get a baseline....take it just prior to getting your treatment every three weeks. Once you are off herceptin you could continue with this test on a regular basis and watch for rising numbers which would indicate active disease. At that time a booster followed by regular treatments for some period of time might fight off the disease before it settles into a tumor. I am trying to get the test here but it's a struggle. Are your doctors willing to use it?
