Magnolia,
I finished my original treatment (including Herceptin) April 20, 2007 and I was diagnosed with a single brain met and mets to the lungs in July 2007. So you see, I metastisized very quickly as well. I had very aggressive treatment and there was nothing more that I could have done to prevent the mets. Some of us will gets mets and others won't. Hang in there. You're doing a great job in being Jenny's advocate. She's fortunate to have such a good friend.
