Was told Feb this year, I might be coming off Herceptin.
Decision would be based on the fact, I'd been on the drug for over 2 years.

My onc was going to speak to my surgeon and between them they would make the biggest decision off my life!!!

I was told , the cancer could come back, even thogh I was getting Herceptin!!
If they stopped the drug, the cancer might still come back !!
If I kept on with the drug, I might develop a heart condition !!
