Sheila, I am on the same treatment as you and have the same neck node problem. When I went off for a month for scans and such my neck nodes just popped right back up. I am anxious to see what happens when I get my next round of scans. Pam, since I have not been on any other treatments except hki-272 I don't have much experience to offer, but like Sheila I think the herceptin-taxol combo is keeping me stable.
