GREAT news, Jessica!
Thanks for shouting it to the rooftops.
I also had an additional 3 treatments of Taxol, Navelbine and Herceptin after my PET showed the last small spot to be merely scar tissue. Those last 3 treatments were for the purpose of "mopping up" any cancer cells that may have been hanging around. That seems to have donethe trick as I have had no relapse in my body from neck down in three years.

If you are worried about a few cells and will be staying on Herceptin, you should be able to get along without any surgery. Think about that, although I know there have been some posts on this subject. The three-week routine for Herceptin has been very effective for me and many others I know who are stage IV. My mets were to liver and bones.
