Re: Sisters with Mets...should I stop Herceptin?

Hi Kim...
This is OVER THE TOP news! It sounds an awful lot like maybe you have...dare I say it.... a cure going on....WOW!
I was thinking the Cell Search CTC is the same as the HEr 2 serum test...but after some sleuthing, I see that they are different. I am copying information on the Her 2 serum test to bring to my oncologist. If you would like more info on the Cell Search; this is it:

Good luck! Let's stay in touch periodically if things change...
Love Kim from CT
