Any lung mets survivors??

Hi,
Can never seem to see a post from lung met survivors, very scary as have just been diagnosed with that. Asked oncologist how big it was and he said 'we dont deal in size'. not very reassuring. anyway hoping herceptin/taxotere will control it. would love to hear of anyone who has been treated successfully. I realise its incurable now (he told me) but is it manageable? he says they have a lot more drugs in store for me if the t&h stop working. have to believe these drugs will work, otherwise will crack up. any help would be really appreciated.
