Barbara,

In reality, it is up to you whether to stay on the combination after a good response or not.

I had a great response in late '02 with Navelbine/Herceptin. When scans showed NED I stopped tx. If my bone mets had been more positive I would have kept up with the Zometa.

Since you have once had such good response to Herceptin alone, I would be inclined to try that after tests/scans show good improvement with your current mets. I'm with you all the way on QOL!

big hugs,
