Two or seven Herceptins is better than none.
Topaz -- Did you get seven infusions every three weeks? If so you got the equiv of 21 weekly infusions, which is 5 months worth. There is a clinical trial in Europe going on with 5000 women, which hopes to prove that six montsh of Herc. is as effective as 12 months.
Malena -- you sure reacted fast to Herceptin. Could it have something to do with the dose, or the way it was administered? (P.S. I am italian-american with grandparents from abruzze - teramo and collelongo . My niece just spent a semester studying music (oboe) in Milan. )
