Hi Shell,

I discovered mets to my lungs from a chest xray in May of 03. At that time the tumor was 9cm. I was started on weekly Navelbine and Herceptin. Stayed on for a year and tumor was esentially gone.

They tried me on herceptin only every three weeks for 6 months but the tumor returned.

So I'm back on Nabelbine and herceptin weekly since Jan. Once again it's reduced the tumor.

I'm Her2++, er- pr-

So sorry to hear about your mets. Good luck with your treatment. Keep a positive attitude!
