Remission and NED, now what?

[pattyz]

Perhaps it depends a bit on your mets... as well as personal choices.

First mets of mediastinal nodes/spot on lung and pelvis I did four rounds of Navelbine/Herceptin. When scans showed clear, I stopped treatment, including Herceptin, tho' my onc offered to keep me on it. That was nearly five yrs ago and my body remains NED.

Now, with my brain mets, it's been a different story. Since I've 'used up' my rads to brain and the Xeloda/Temodar has given me a reprieve of sorts, I continue taking one or both, for the past 22 months now.

But, that's just me, round peg in a square hole...
