Dear Chelee, I was diagnosed 14 1/2 years ago with breast cancer. I had NED up until Fall 2003. I had severe pain in my back that I thought was caused by working on the computer. I finally saw a doctor Jan. 04. I was dignosed with a compression fracture to my spine, which turned out to be a matastesis. Actually that was 2 years ago today. At that time I thought I had just months to live. What I have found out though is that those of us that are her2, even though hormone negative, do much better then we did in the past due to the use of herceptin. We all know how you feel. It's like falling into a big black hole and you feel like you will never get out of it. It has taken me a long time to feel as though I can live with this disease. We are all going to die someday. Once I accepted that, I became a new person. We are here for you. And God is with you. Take care and God Bless You. Lu Ann
