Re: Navelbin--hope I spelled it right.

Hi
I have just had my second Navelbine @ 75% & 85% respectively. I was previously on Xeloda and Tykerb (at great expense) for two and a half months, which did not work and the mets progressed in my lungs. The year of Herceptin previously, evidently did not work. My Onc stated that if Herceptin did not work "it" usually will return in one year.
In asking the Onc why they didn't give a cat scan to those after the year of Herceptin, she she said they don't like to give too many cat scans. And yet I have had two cat scans in three months!!
Go figure. I think it would be good preventative.
