I am also dx HER2+++ erpr+++ stage IV 8/16 nodes + also a spot on my liver. I did my Carboplatin/Taxotere/Herceptin for 6 cycles. Once every three weeks. Then I had 33 radiation treatments. After radiation was complete I went back on Herceptin every three weeks. At first I was getting Lupron shots every three months. I had two of these shots and decided to have my ovaries out instead. I am 37 years old and started menopause at 36 due to the chemo. I am on Femara also. My doctor said that the Femara was the better drug for fighting this very aggressive disease. I was diagnosed march 2004 and I have been NED since October 2004. I hope some of this information can be of help to you. Good luck and take care. Sally
