In 1998, I was Stage 2 with 11 nodes positive, er-/slighty pr+, (not tested for her2). I went over 7 years without a recurrence. Now for almost 2 years I have been dealing with mets to abdominal lymph nodes, and recently hip bones. With recurrence, tested Her2 postive, so have had herceptin, but now on Tykerb. I was high risk, but after 5 years was beginning to set BC aside in my mind.
