I will be going off herceptin in March after 1 year for stage lllA, her2+++, er/pr - with 8 of 18 nodes +. Now...what has been your experience when going off treatment? As you might expect, I'm scared to go off. Feels like I'm giving up my safety net. Anyway, those of you that have gotten treatment for stage 3 or less, what happened? Did you stay cancer free? Did you have other effects? Did you have your port taken out? (BTW - I just had my 18 mo. mamms and all are clear:-) Surgeon says "Pull the port! Healthy people don't need ports!" But I'm afraid to take it out as well...but I'm anxious to get back to life at a relatively normal way. I'd like to hear your stories! Judy
