herceptin forever?

[PinkGirl]

I try to be very positive and hope that my cancer doesn't recur, but I am also a "realist" and know that there is a good chance that it will. From all my reading, I am starting to think of breast cancer as a chronic cancer. That's why I've been thinking about the herceptin. You have been on it, and doing very well, for a long time. I am going to try and corner my onc. sometime and ask him. Herceptin is always described as a therapy for advanced or metastatic BC. Maybe the question should be why do we get it for early stage.
