Hi Kat,

Welcome to this site! Your note isn't clear how long you have been on Herceptin...when we were at the ASCO conference in Atlanta; a few researchers noted the peak of the bell curve for Herceptin resistance is in year 3 and 4. However there are many, many metastatic cancer patients on this site that are more than 5 years out. In fact. Chris and Joe (web master) know a lady who is 12 years out and who was in Dr. Slamoms original clinical trial. I am metastatic (er/pr - and her2+++) and have been since my mets diagnosis in April 2004. Thank God that Herceptin has kept me with no evidence of disease since then. I have had a total hysterectomy and 4 lumpectomies.
You are in the right place with your questions, we are glad you joined us!
Love Kim from CT
