Sherry, you're right, no sign of disease or No Evidence of Disease(NED) means one is considered to be in remission, and when there's evidence you still have activity but it's not spreading that's considered stable.
If you're considered to have NED then you're in remission; however, continuing on Herceptin in order to stay NED is what most of us Stage IV'ers prefer to do.
I wasn't quite clear from Callen's post whether she's NED or whether there's evidence the cancer is regressing and therefore expects to be NED by the time her course of treatment is through, so just tried to cover all the bases.
