Lani-
I add my thanks, as well, aothough I am not responsive to herceptin. I recently was diagnoesed with brain mets, but my onc continues to feel the real battle for me is with the lungs. I just finished WBR, and although I wasn't thrilled about it, I was told there were too many brain mets for me to have any other viable options. I continue to hope that the abraxane is keeping my lung mets stable, and I 'll deal with the brain issues...
Kind regards,
