Confused about being taken off Herceptin
Help
This is my first post, but I have read some great information previously on the message boards. I didn't have a question till now and I thought this is the best place to ask this.
My onc has taken me off Herceptin because a lump has appeared in my lymph node on my neck. I've been on it since Jan'05 when I was diagnosed. I'm only 36 so being taken off it has really upset me because I was hoping to be on it for many, many years since it such a wonderful treatment. She said since it doesn't seem to be working there is no sense of being on it. Yet I've read on the message boards that one woman was being put back on it after a treatment of Abraxane and other round of a chemo combo. Another woman was still on it during a new round of chemo after mets had appeared. I don't understand why I'm being taken off of it and she said she'll never put me back on. I'm very confused. Is the protocol different in Canada? I hope someone can help me with my problem.
