Hi Barbara; I sympathize with you but feel sure you will be able to manage this combo well, your onc's plan sounds good. I'm having Navelbine/Herceptin for the third time since 2001, with Herceptin maintenance in between. Just recently added Xeloda for more "punch".
Hopefully you'll respond well and be able to drop chemo, at least for awhile; after my first recurrence I was on maintenance Herceptin for 2 & 1/2 years before I needed chemo again! After my second recurrence I had a one year break. And so it goes, and I agree with Tricia, our oncs are just standing back saying "Wow!" because this is new territory for them too. My onc says it's an open book for me.
Hang in there, hope you feel better soon.
<3 Lolly
