Go to my earlier posts. I was able to reach NED in 2004 from my mets for over a year and a half just from Herceptin. At the time I had mets in my brain, lungs, skin, liver, and nodes. I did need brain surgery. A year and a half later they appeared in my bones. Those are the hardest for me to treat, but are currently responding to the Herceptin MCC-DM-1 trial. It is important to note that when I developed breast cancer in 1998 (HER2 ER, PR neg.), Heceptin existed and I requested it. Unfortunately, Herceptin was not available to me then. I went six years before I developed mets.
Best regards,
Barbara
