Stopping Herceptin

[Ellie F]

Hi I asked my onc this same question last week. He was 'cool' about stopping herceptin and restarting if anymore mets appeared.I am less convinced and feel 'dont fix whats not broken'!
I seem to remember reading somewhere that Dr Slamon thought that resistence may develop after a period of 2-3 years.I haven't heard anything since except from a patient of Dr Slamon on another board who said he wanted her to stop herceptin after 7 years NED stage 4.
As usual it seems there are no easy answers in cancerland!
