I was diagnosed 3 years ago with 2 small lung mets, much like yours. I was stage IV from the get go. I was put on taxotere, xeloda and Herceptin..scans were done 6 weeks into treatment and there was no sign of the mets. I have been NED ever since, I did Herceptin every week for the first 2 years and switched to every 3 weeks indefinately. I am now doing scans every 6 months, in fact I go in for my scans tomorrow.I always get panicky before my scans. I know how frightened you are, when I got my results, I figured I was pretty much a goner and soon. But here I am 3 years later, feeling great. Please keep me posted in how you are doing, you are in my prayers..sherryg683
