Kaye,
I had supraclavicular mets diagnosed in January of 2001, started Navelbine/Herceptin (Her2+++)and six months later, having no evidence of disease, dropped Navelbine and continued on Herceptin mono therapy until last week. A PET scan revealed a second recurrence to supraclavicular nodes, plus 2 under right arm, so am back on weekly Navelbine/Herceptin. Too soon to tell if the treatment is working, but I see my onc again next month, and we've already discussed moving to a different chemo if Navelbine doesn't work this time, but he thinks it's been long enough since my last round that we may see a good response again.
For me, mets to lymph nodes has been highly treatable, and side effects minimal.
Hope this helps,
Lolly
