When my lung nodules cleared up, I immediately was take off the Taxotere and Xeloda. This was after the minimum 5 rounds of treatment. But I have been on Herceptin weekly ever since. My Oncologist was talking about switching me from Herceptin to Tykerb when it came out, but I wouldn't mind being on both...he's OK with that also. I think most stage IV's stay on some sort of chemo, even if it is just targeted...sherryg683
