I finished my 1 yr. of herceptin and came home that night to the news on TV about approval of Kadcyla and the daily paper had an article the next day. I was doing a happy dance.

Next week I am scheduled for a PetScan and hoping all is good. I haven't spoken to my oncologist since all this happened. Just wondering if the cancer comes back will I take Kadcyla? Do I just continue on arimidex for the next 4 years and is there a test to let me know is HER2 is back and acting up? I am also scheduled for echocardigram next week and have no reason to think my heart will be anything but healthy. I see my MS Specialist next Monday and hope I can now go back to a MS drug that will stop the progression of the MS. In the meantime I'm thankful we have another med in our arsenal.
