herceptin forever?

[new shoes]

How very timely! My onc stopped by my chair this morning while I was getting H. He just stopped to say "hi", but I pegged him again about HIS decision that I receive only 1 year of treatment. He pointed out again that there was nothing new in the literature that suggested that more than one year was beneficial. I suggested that the presentations in San Antonio in Dec. might recommend otherwise. His response "Then we will dicuss it again in Dec." If he thinks I'm dropping this until then he really doesn't know me well.

I haven't even looked into weather my insurance will pay for it after the first year. But, I have a feeling that if my onc doesn't approve it I'll have a real battle on my hands.
