Steph, I still go in for Herceptin every 3 weeks, and they run my liver enzymes and CA 27-29 every 3 weeks. So far, all counts continue to be in the normal range. I have no symptoms of mets at all, so I prefer to not be subjecting myself to CT scans or bone scans.

I may ask for a brain scan the next time I see him, just as a precaution, as I have not symptoms of brain mets either.

It does feel good to be feeling fairly normal right now. 10 months on just Herceptin has done so much in allowing me to regain my energy and feel better.
