Chelee,

I was on Herceptin (w/Navelbine) for mets. Had just four months worth to get to NED in body. I then stopped tx's for body altogether. That was early Jan of '03. Tho' I have had 3 occurances of brain mets, my body remains NED, nearly 4 1/2 yrs now.

So, that is MY story. Herceptin for four months total. Give yourself a break!

Best to you,
pattyz
