Patty!
The end is NOT near! If you have a doc who wants to give up and you aren't ready to give up, time to find another doc. Also, even if you are progressing on herceptin, it doesn't mean you should come off herceptin. The way it was explained to me is that herceptin can still slow the pace of progression.
The G drug is gemzar. I have been on it for 9 months and it has done wonders for me. I too had a doc who wanted to give up so I switched docs.
I know it is scary. We all know this and wait with anxiety when tests are done but you still have many options left. ( doxil, navelbine, gemzar, alimta, xeloda and clinical trials. )
Hang in there and know that there are still options if you wish to continue.
Hugs
