"I have been on 5FU for 19 months in combination with Herceptin. My cycle is every two weeks. Initially, I also had Oxaliplatin, but I had trouble with neuropathy. My oncologist expected me to pass in six months to two years. After 19 months of treatment, she said, 'To be brutally honest, I did not expect you to still be here.' I am still reasonably healthy, eat well, and maintain my weight. My only real problem is that Herceptin is affecting my heart rhythms. I have the HER2+ protein, and my cancer has been found in my liver. I have had two CT scans, wherein I have had a partial response. The rest of my CT scans have shown a stable condition. Scans are conducted every three to four cycles. I am confident that I will make the two-year and more timeframe for my life. My oncologist and cardiologist are a good team! During my ordeal, I have also had to have a pacemaker installed and may yet have to have it removed and replaced with an ICD. 5FU and Herceptin are working."
