I'm glad I popped in to read this and your reply mamacze. I have been on Herceptin and NED for 8 years (lung mets) and have been recently thinking about getting off of it. I have gone from doing it every 3 weeks to once a month, for the past year and half. I think I will stay on it as long as its working. I am so tired of the reminder that I have stage iv cancer but if I quit it and it came back, I would be forever second guessing my decision
