Adriana,

I ve had mets to the chest wall since Jan 2009. They havent' changed since they showed on the scan. I went on aromasin for a year and aredia infusions every 6 weeks. In Dec 2009 mets showed in my liver and am now on xeloda, aredia and herceptin. My last scan in june showed no change again in the chest wall and the liver has gone from 6 lesions to 5 and the 5th one which was the biggest has changed from 20mm to 5mm. My chest wall lesion could be healing as it hasn't changed for over a year. But until my liver mets I was doing fantastic on just aromasin.

Hope its the same for you.

Dawn
