Now What?
Friends,
I recently completed my 18th treatment of Herceptin and am now finished with all of my treatments. I saw my oncologist and he said we now just have to get on with life. I will see him every six months for two tyears then every year. Is it true that recurrance if it happens is most likely to occur in the first two years? And is this measured from when I was diagnosed or from when treatment ended. My onc was not supportive of "routine" scans, MRI, etc, other than a mamogram evry six months. Thiughts?
May you all receive peace, contentment and happiness in your endeavors.
Thanks.
Brenda
