Susan - You are on the right track with aggressive treatment. I was dx similar to you too. I had AC, Taxol + herceptin, herceptin for one year ( I was one of the first in this "new wave" of thought) and had my ovaries out so that I could take Arimidex. Like all of us, I never want to do this again, so I also opted for a bilateral masectomy with reconstruction. That is a personal choice, but I needed to know I had done all I could. Tamoxifen is hormonal treatment for premenopausal women, arimidex for postmenopausal.
Yes, so true. We never know what tomorrow will bring, do we? Hang in there, you will never be the same, and it can be an improvement!
