Yippee! So glad to see a post to give me hope. I just had a mastectomy and getting ready to start chemo in a week.

Age 46
Stage II, HER+, ER/PR-
17 lymph nodes, no cancer present
completed clinical trial, 3months weekly Herceptin and 1000 mg Tykerb daily. Tumor shrunk from 8cm to nothing and no cancer present at time of mastectomy!
