ER- PR- Her-2 +++, use herceptin alone with diet and supplemental regimen...so some of us are WAY outside what was ever expected--given our original DX. Now it seems the more her-2 positive you are, all things being equal, the better the Herceptin may work for you....

There are lots of Stage 4 folks still kickin and actually doing well 6+ years out on this board...many are NED now.

Hope this encourages some of you,
