Don't know what to do

My year of Herceptin will be over June 16 but my oncologist is willing to go out to at least the end of September to coincide with 2 years out from surgery. It is only 5 extra (every 3 week) treatments.

He says that if there are any 2 year results out by then, depending on those results, we can quit or keep going.

My insurance will continue paying for Herceptin. I am was also keen on it but now I am wondering. I haven't been able to discuss this with my onc because Friday was my infusion but I had to see another doctor because he was on vacation. I will see him again in 3 weeks. My heart is good. My last echo was 60 and it was always running at that.

Many of you who were in the trial only received one year of Herceptin and are doing so well. And many of you had lots more nodes involved than I did. I am at a real loss at whether to stop at a year or continue onwards.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks in advance

Becky
