Re: Sisters with Mets...should I stop Herceptin?
Kim, I wish you the very best as you take your break from Herceptin. I hope that you have the wonderful results that I have so far. As I told you, my onc said that if it came back he and Dr Slamon agree that the Herceptin will take care of it. Have a great summer with your family. Best Wishes, Mary L
