I was diagnosed in Dec 05 with 2 small lung mets. I did 4 months of Taxotere, Xeloda, and Herceptin..I took the herceptin in conjunction with the other two. I had a complete response to the chemo and have been cancer free since then. I was given a 19 percent 5 year survival rate and here I am. In December it will be 5 years and I feel great. I do remain on Herceptin indefinately and I have PET/CT scans every 6 months.
