Long Term Treatment with Herceptin

[shellbuck]

Tomorrow I am having a new Mediport implanted. The first started poking through my neck, so my BC surgeon removed it. My oncologist and her decided I should have a new one because I am on long-term Herceptin treatment. I finished chemo in January (after 6 months of weekly treatments), but continue to get H every 3 weeks. My oncologist said he has another patient who has been on it for 3 years. I'm beginning to wonder what the consequences will be if I discontinue treatment.
