I do have a lung met. I also had some lymph nodes near it involved. They did CT guided biopsy - it was not that bad. They considered removing it until I had a bone scan and found additional bone mets. They did chemo and this is when herceptin was added to my regiment. After finishing chemo there was a small amount of "residual" activity. The plan was to continue with Herceptin alone for 6 months and rescan it to see if that would do it. Unfortunately for me I recently developed a brain met before we could do the other....but I/they were very optimistic for me at that point and I would be optimistic if I were you.
