Hi Gabrielle,

Isn't that the name of an angel? Is that your real name? I am glad you posted as the mighty Gabrielle. Thank you so much for posting your 9th year survival. That is so inspirational - giving me so much hope. I was first diagnosed with IDC - grade 3 back in 2003. Just when I was ready to start my 5th year NED, I felt it on my old surgical site - the medical team had been dismissing it as scar tissue - but it was not. So I had another surgery in summer,2007. And then I had to stop Herceptin just 1/3 of the way. Anyway, I am so happy for you. And I hope many of us can make it for the 9th year and beyond also. Thanks again.
