Hi Linda,
You and I seem to be in a very similar place. I just found I have a small subpleural nodule of 5mm in my left lung - . At this point, I don't know that it's mets but I'm trying to prepare for the worst. I was stage IIA, ER+ and finished herceptin in June 2005. I haven't been on tamoxifen because it seems to trigger my MS, although I tried numerous times.

I have read that if you have one lung met, removing it has shown good results. I'm also wondering if I could get tykerb since herceptin/taxol seemed to not have worked. I have no idea whether that's a possibility.

I hope for both of us it turns out to be benign.

Best,
Monica
