Barbara makes a very good point on this. I was 20 months out of treatment when I started herceptin. My onc. did say that studies did not yet show if it would be beneficial but I wanted it and he agreed. Unfortunately after 9 months I did develop a lung met. He said that this did not mean the herceptin was not working-although disappointed it sure makes me glad I went for the herceptin. I continue on herceptin with other drugs added. He says I am now in partial remission after 2 cycles. Ceesun
