I have been having Herceptin (has many other names!) infusions every 3 weeks since ending chemo (because my serous endometrial cancer was HER2+), and I'm told this will continue along with whatever else comes next!

I have Kaiser, which lags a little behind the research, but I live in a metropolitan area with a lot of research hospitals. I reached out before, and will do so again at this stage, to be included in experimental trials.

Realistically though, I know this is a high-grade cancer, from some kind of rare, inherited genetic mutation.
