Hi Janet,

Definitely give Navilbene with Herceptin or Tykerb some serious consideration. I had lung and liver mets, started Navilbene and Herceptin in January. I have since had to switch due to liver progression, but I haven't seen hide nor hair of those lung mets for the past 7 months since Navilbene wiped them off the face of the CAT scan. It's also a relatively easy combo to tolerate.

Good luck to you!
