Kim,
At mets dx I went on Navelbine/Herceptin for several months. Follow-up scans showed NED in body. I was offered H alone and did that for ? maybe 2/3 mos.
Since my mets have been exlusively in my brain ever since then, I have not been on Herceptin by choice for the past near 6 yrs. I remain NED in body.
However, I have also been on Xeloda/ Temodar for 3 yrs for my brain mets. Don't know if that's made any difference to body, nor how to ever tell.
We added Tykerb last fall, but I had slight brain met progression until we upped my X/T chemo dosage/ went 7on/7off. "Stable" for now once again.
I decided to stop the Herceptin as it was not thought to cross the bbb and would not help the brain mets that were the priority issue.
