Hi:

Thanks for the encouragement! I too am her 2 positive had a mastectomy in April 2004 followed with chemo and radiation which all finished up at the end of January of this year and felt absolutely fantastic until about 2 months later when I started to become dizzy and vomit with much pain in my head. Yes they discovered my brain mets had surgery and radiation. I then had a CT done which showed nodules on my lungs too. Started a regime of taxotere/herceptin every 3 weeks only to find out through another Ct that that was not working as new spots on lungs and lymph nodes enlarged in chest and neck area. Now I am trying Navalbine/herceptin weekly and will give this one 3 more weeks, do another CT to see how this is doing, I just hope for the very best that it does as I am only 42.
