Re: Her2 Serum ?
Hi Kim, I too am a her2+++ and was on Herceptin for over 4 years. My onc decided almost 4 years ago to stop the Herceptin. He and Dr Slamon felt that it was a good time to stop. I was very afraid and begged to stay on it but it was stopped. I have been so fortunate & blessed to be coming up on 8 years this Oct 2011. I love Herceptin, it saved my life. I sometimes wish I could just have a round of it as a precaution, however my onc says that is not done. I wish you the very best and I agree with you on starting Herceptin asap. It works! Mary L
