Hi,I was diagnosed first in 1998 (age 34yrs) and had a recurrence in 2000 and have been on some form of treatment eversince. I have had a lot of ups and downs. I have now practically exhausted most of the chemo regimens along with herceptin. I am hoping to get on the Lapatinib EAP. I hope in your case there is stable disease. Her2+ positive cancers are very aggresive but many people have gone into remission after yrs of remission. We need to focus on our short term goals rather than thinking ABOUT THE NEGATIVE INFLUENCE OF THE PRESS ETC.
