From the beginning, my dx was HER2+, ER-, PR-. My surgeon did the sentinel node biopsy thing and removed 5-6 nodes; nothing found there. So, while the pathology looked bad, the lump removed was small and, it appeared, no nodes were involved.
I completed chemo (A/C) in August 2002 and 33 rads treatments October 2002. February 2003, routine chest xray picked up nodule in left lung. Had surgery to biopsy/remove and it proved to be metastasis. If you use the time from the end of chemo, it was 6 months to progression.
Thought I was a goner for sure - but here I am in February 2005 - NED. Not doing chemo, herceptin or anything else for that matter (my choice) . Just having lots of fun.
