Hello Linda, I was diagnosed with a single lung met this past August. It showed up on a cat scan and then appeared barely active on a pet scan, but my onc ordered a lung needle biopsy which was not a difficult procedure to my surprise. It was determined to be bc about 1 centimeter so my doc put me in a clinical trial of herceptin/navelbine and xeloda-after 2 cycles it has gotten smaller. My oncologist did not want me to have surgery as I had already had lung surgery for a benign, non breast cancer issue but had complications from that surgery. He said he would treat with chemo whether or not I had surgery so that is where I am. I had been on herceptin for 9 months-although I was 20 months done with chemo when I started herceptin. Hope this helps-good luck Ceesun
