I took Herceptin/Navelbine weekly for one year and did great on it. No hair loss and a normal life. All my bone met pain was gone within weeks. Tumor markers dropped like a stone to near normal. I now have no sign of the mets I had in my liver and lung. Just remnants of bone mets. My nails are definitely weaker but all looking normal. I feel strong and healthy.
Now I am on just herceptin alone. As Lisa mentioned in her post, the hercetpin does not work on preventing or treating brain mets. But I understand it works better to prevent them when given in combination with something like navelbine. So, ask for brain MRIs to monitor for that.
