Hi Beth,
Yep that's me.....I had 11 weekly treatments and the liver mets went from 6.8 cm to 3 mm. I actually saw the films last Friday and believe me it was dramatic just looks like a thin dark line. I will continue with this chemo regimen for another two months at least to ensure we get it all and then some. After that I will be on weekly maintenance Herceptin for the rest of my life. Dr. Sweeney is the best - I hope you like him and the oncology nurses. How are you doing? Please feel free to call me (or email me) at any time if you'd like to talk about any of this.....it's scary but I am confident you will do just as great as I have. By the way Stephanie Spielman is coming up on her 3rd year being stable on weekly Herceptin (her's went to her lungs). Hope you are feeling better...by the way I take treatments every Friday at noon. Take care.
