Re: Any lung mets survivors??

Hi Delaney,
Don't give up yet! I was diagnosed in Feb.2010 with mets to lots of places and one was my lungs. I did the weekly Taxol/Herceptin and I am now NED.
After about 4 weeks of treatment I was breathing easier and felt better overall. Think NED lady!
Stay positive and keep in touch.
