Hi Girls!
My oncologist wanted me to ask ... all of you who are Stage IV and NED for several years.... what are your treatment protocols? I was diagnosed in March 2004 with mets to the liver and lungs and have been on Herceptin since. The tumors in my liver and lungs responded right away to the Herceptin (and navelbene at first) and I have been NED since. Have any of you gone on a drug holiday? How many of you are using the Bayer serum test? If you are, did you have a baseline done? How often are you being scanned. Thank you all for your comments. Love Kim from CT
