I wonder if someone there can help point me in a good direction to make a decision:
I'm a 3x BC survivor (the last one was mets to my liver). I've been on Herceptin+ Navelbine for about 30 months, and am in complete remission with NED. My oncologist originaly recommended that I stay on Navelbine indefinetly, but now has raised the option of getting off it, just staying on Herceptin. I'm looking for research on whether this is the right choice. Also on info on really long term use of Navelbine and or Herceptin. Most of my friends with mets have gone off their original chemos, and most of them have recurred. I'm still on my first-line treatment, and I'm still in remission. I don't want to save a few months of toxicity from the Navelbine, only to recurr!! It has minimal side-effects, all of the tolerable at this point. On the other hand it sure would be nice to be off it!
Any help???
