Re: HER2 positive and 10 years out?

Diane - I have a good friend that is 14 years out with no recurrence. She was diagnosed at age 29. She never had Herceptin...did a clinical trial with stem cell transplants/high dose chemo at Duke. Her tumor tissue was retested a few years ago for research reasons and she was Her2 pos. She was stage 3. They are out there but they usually don't post much on websites. I also know of another lady living in Atlanta that is 10 or more (was stage 3 also) and doing great. She doesn't post on internet but does go to local support groups to tell her story.
I'm working on year 7....
Hugs ~ Ruth
