Re: New to the Group
Hi Tracie ~
I'm so sorry for the reasons you came to this place however we are happy you are here and we will give you lots of encouragement and hope! Plus we have some super researchers here that always seem to find answers when someone really needs one.
I am similar except I was ER/PR negative. But lots of lymph nodes involved and 3 cm tumor. I had dose dense A/C (every two weeks) then 12 weeks with concurrent Herceptin. Then Herceptin for 40 more weeks after that. Also radiation and reconstruction. I will be hitting 7 years next week and have had no sign of a recurrence so far. There are success stories out there. I send you a gentle hug and please feel free to PM me anytime you have any questions or concerns. I'm not on here every day reading but I do check my email all the time.
Hugs ~ Ruth
