Post Herceptin Follow-Up
Well,I've now completed my adjuvent chemotherapy as detailed in my profile. Is their a prescribed regimen of follow up care? After a year of herceptin, and six infusions of taxotere and carboplatin what type of follow care is the norm? How often should I have mammograms, scans, ultrasounds etc. How often should I see my oncologist?
Any assistance is very much apprecited. Thanks.
Good luck to all in our "special" fraternity.
Best wishes,
Brenda
