Shawn;
I was diagnosed Oct 2004 stage 3c with 3 cm tumor in left breast and 1 cm tumor in supraclavicular node. I went through lumpectomy but no removal of clavicular tumor, 4 AC, 4 Taxol, herceptin during last taxol and onwards until last treatment when low muga called for stopping herceptin temporarily. I went through radiation including boosters particularly to clavicular node area. I am ER/PR+ ..... i wasn't sure if you were ER+ or - and so am also on Arimidex. So far .... so good. I am closedly monitored and see my onc about every 8 weeks. I am currently going through a CT of the brain, bone density as onc wants to prescribe calcium, and another muga. I was once told by my onc's assistant that I was lucky to have the spread to the one area which allowed for the potential of cure. I just feel so lucky that herceptin is here for us and other drugs are fast coming down the pipe. I feel good although I need to lose some weight and struggle now with that. Michelle is also stage 3c and there are others on the site. When were you diagnosed?
