Lung Mets and Herceptin

HI Robyn!

I am a newbie here... but I wanted to tell you...

I am a 4 time survivor, bilateral mastectomies with immediate diepflap reconstruction, and I found out in Aug 2005, I had multiple "spots" in my lungs. I am a mom of 3, 48 yrs young, and have a very pos. attitude, however not without my very down days ( but I ignore those).

I thought this was "it"... like Peter Jennings who had just passed away. I didn't understand this was breast cancer in the lungs I thought it was lung cancer and I was told it is not the same thing.

I was told this is treatable which made me fight like H__! I was put on Herceptin with Navelbine ( I already had taxotere, so they didnt want me to have it again).

It worked!! All spots are gone. Not visible in CT scan done at end of Dec. and I saw it for myself. I asked him to "show" me the scans. He did and I was skeptical but they were indeed gone.

I really think you have a great chance of this working for you... and don't forget, Hercpetin clings to all breast cancer cells... not just in the lungs,but everywhere, so if there is any remaining cells, it should take care of those too!! ( I was told that by my onc recently).

Good luck.. keep us posted on your progress.

Lucky
