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

Gosh it is a big decision Kim and i also think of Jackie(jhandley). "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
Re Femara, i am nearing the end of it for me and i am terrified of going off it. I feel it has kept the cancer at bay and if i go off my oestrogen will cause a recurrence.
Good luck with your decisions.
