Hi Chelee,

Get one more opinion so you can feel comfortable. Latest study today says some HER2- ladies can benefit from Herceptin while some HER 2 positive might not. Means some other nasty fine point is coming into play. To me this means continuing H might not be crucial, but we really don't know.

If it were me, if a 3rd opinion wanted to use H, I would happily comply, but I could accept 1 year as enough. Your echos are good.

Bottom line, we don't know. So it's hard to get people to act on the unknown. Good luck, Bev
