Dear Diane's daughter,
I find the behavior of your mother's boss and colleagues utterly outrageous, spectacularly insensitive, and probably illegal, but want to respond specifically to your other question. I was diagnosed at Stage II with a small tumor, 16 affected nodes and no metastases. I was also Her2 +++ and estrogen/progesterone negative. Although the doctor (here in Europe) offered zero comments on the prognosis front, it has been almost four years now and with Taxotere and Epirubicin 6 times each, radiation and then a year of Herceptin, I am, so far - knock on wood, cross all fingers and thank goodness - fine. I was 52 when this all started, so frankly I think your mother should assume that her prognosis is excellent
