If you are NED or stable the decision is really up to you, no matter what anyone says or recommends.

When I was dx'd with mediastinal node/s mets/ spot on lung/ spot on pelvis I did several months of Navelbine/ Herceptin. I responded well and scans showed NED, so I discontinued tx. I am also er+ pr- but do no tx for that.

Yes I have brain mets and have had a third recurrance, but my body is still NED so I have only focused on tx for my brain mets. It's been three yrs with body NED.

If your desire for QOL outweighs the fears of going 'naked' and without tx, yes you can.

best wishes,
pattyz
