Herceptin Statistics

[julierene]

We all know the Stage 4 Statistics, but are there any statistics for Her2+++ stage 4 breast cancer treated with Herceptin?

I have had her-2 mets since spring of 1999 and have used Herceptin ALONE (no chemo or radiation since 1998) and I am still kickin and actually doing quite well...I think the prognosis if you are her-2 positive and are lucky enough to be able to access the right dosing of herceptin is very GOOD...but, that is just me...what do others think???

Take care,
Gina

Gina,
Your post is very encouraging! Glad to hear you're doing well on herceptin alone. Just one question, what do you mean by the right dose of herceptin? Isn't it pretty standard? Thanks.
