Hi,
Go to Gina's prior posts to find more information about using Herceptin alone. It does not work for everyone but my oncologist tried Herceptin alone because my daughter was getting married the same month I started it. That was in July of 04. It worked until February of this year when my markers started to inch up. Your relative should consider Zometa for bone mets.
I hope this information helps.
