Hi there

Just an update on me.. I saw my oncologist yesterday..

I start Navelbine and herceptin next week. After that he says he will try a platinum based chemo and then move on to weekly taxol..

I pray that this chemo option stops my lung mets in thier tracks..

Many, many thanks to all you very helpful ladies who are having to deal with with horrid disease.. much love to you all..
