Dear Lisa,

Statistically speaking you may have had a poor prognosis at diagnosis.
But statistics have very little meaning for your individual situation. Either the cancer comes back or it doesn't.

Most Her2 cancer recur early; within two years. The fact that yours didn't, means that it's probably not all that agressive after all. Or that the tx. you've received has worked.

Your statistical prognosis would be much, much better now, because you survived more than 2 years.

Poor onc! He got it all wrong!

Hugs

Jacqueline
