Kathy - I am currently taking Navelbine and Herceptin. I have my next checkup tomorrow, but at my last one, my chest xray was much improved. I feel like this combination is working. I had to quit taking tamoxifen because my lung tumors were not hormone positive, is that why you were asked to quit taking it? I'm glad to hear your doctor wants to get right on your treatments. Best of luck as you proceed, please keep us posted.
