I will be 2 years out in December with original diagnosis with mets to the lung. I have been NED ever since treatment of Taxotere, Xeloda and Herceptin. Hopefully, I will continue that way for many more years. I can't believe your Oncologist told you that you had 18 months to live, he must not be confident in his ability. I think I would look for a more optimistic doctor who will fight for you...sherryg
