Vicki, I found this most interesting.

I was given Herceptin/Navelbine for my mets for approximately 9 weeks and have not had a recurrance of my recurrance for three years!

Ofcourse this does not apply to my brain mets which we know the Herceptin does not effect.

I CHOSE to stop tx when this combination produced a NED state in my body. And, have not been on ANY other treatment/s but those specifically for my brain mets since then.

Thanks to your onc and you!
