Greetings (navelbine and herceptin??)

[ncgirl]

Hi, all, I'm newly dx with bc and 2 small mets to the liver. that was a shock on top of a shock, let me tell you. I am pr,er and her+. My onc has started me on navelbine and herceptin weekly. Is anyone on this regimen? Or been on it? I had a lumpectomy and reexcision with clear margins and node dissection with 5 of 20 +.
Supposedly this regimen is fairly well tolerated, and I have had one so far. I had really bad flu like symptoms the night of the infusion that lasted for about 7hours, and the next day, I was a little tired and achy but made it through the workday all right. In fact, the day after that (day 3?), I felt great, I had a good night's sleep, the first in a long time, and work was a breeze. Even walked two miles.
So, I just wanted to see who else has been on this tx, and how successfull were you. So far my onc is not telling me how long I will be on this weekly infusion, but says the herceptin will probably be "forever".
HOw long was it before anyone saw any results? I don't even really know when my next scan will be.
I have a million other questions, but can't thinkof them now, thanks, in advance for the support and info.
