Hi Liz,

Congratulations! 2 years is great. When I reached that milestone, my doc shook my hand and congratulated me because I "took the first important hurdle". When I asked about chemo and Herceptin, he said the same thing you were told: the benefits outweigh the risks.

I'm 6 years out now and NED.

Love

Jacqueline
