And have also had a great response. My last CT scan (after 4 rounds) basically showed NED with the exception of a VERY small spot where one of the liver lesions was. My onc thinks it is just debris that hasn't been cleared out yet. I'm stage IV, with a few small mets to liver and 1 to my pelvis.

I'm on weekly Taxol/Carbo/Herceptin, 3 weeks on/1 week off, but even on my off week I still go in for the herceptin. I had a consult at Mayo and this is what was recommended. My onc was going to let me go off the chemo as of my last CT, but the Mayo doc recommended we do 6 rounds if I was tolerating the chemo well, which I am. So I'm going to do the full 6 rounds, finishing up in early April.

I'm so happy for you that your response was so quick, and so complete! That's awesome.
