Kathy S. I'm not sure how much chemo is too much, but you can certainly ask for a break from chemo if you are stable and you feel you need it.

In March of 2005 I felt like I needed a break from chemo, I was not NED, but I wanted a break anyway. I stayed on just Herceptin. 2 months later my liver and bone mets were NED! I don't know if it was delayed chemo reaction or what, but I stayed off chemo for 2 1/2 years after that.

It's worth discussing with your onc.
