Linda,
In 12/05 seven months after completing one year of herceptin, I was diagnosed with lung mets to both lungs. Because of the multiple mets and pattern it was not recommended to have a biopsy. But I chose to have a CT core needle guided biopsy that was not too bad.

I did Xeloda for 4 months before the disease progressed and am now doing a clinical trial at NCI. If you would like to look into this trial check out the post under clinical trials called "New Phase II combined antibodies study" where I have listed contact information.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I hope your scan goes well!
