If there is a good chance you are stage IV, why are you stopping herceptin? I was diagnosed as stage IV last fall, and I'm currently in remission, but I am going to continue on the herceptin indefinitely to keep the mets at bay. I'm pretty sure this is standard protocol.

I would consider asking your onc if you can stay on the herceptin.

I don't have any advice about clinical trials, but good luck!
