I am in a similar boat, only no invasive tumor in 1999- just extensive HER2+ DCIS. I had a metastatic recurrence in 1/08 by the time I was believing I was cured. I have been on similar treatments including the MM111 trial which did not do anything for me unfortunately. I am now on Tykerb and Xeloda and responding well at the moment although I hate the S/E. I have also heard good things about Gemzar. Good luck, and I think you still have lots of options left, and we all hope TDM-1 will be made available soon!
