Thanks for all the replies. I think I will have a brain mri every 6 -12 months. My onc is pretty good about letting me have scans when I ask, but I will also complain of headaches, if that what it takes.

Joan, I am very interested in the targeted therapies, but my liver tumor was 11 cm, so for now I am on Taxotere, with Herceptin. I will have another ct at the end of Sept, and if it has shrunk considerably, I will start looking at my options. It would be wonderful to be only on Herceptin. Do you take it weekly, or are you able to do it every three weeks?

Thanks again for everyone's help,

Laurie
