I am a 36 yr old mother of 3. I was dx in Jan 2003. I had a 2 cm and 1 cm masses in my right breast. I had a complete masectomy with 3 or 4 nodes positive. I received 4 a/c, removed ovaries and gall bladder, then 4 taxotere. I followed with 36 radiation. I showed a spot on my uterus which turned out to be nothing. Then in January 2004 had a mass under auxillary, spots or lesions on liver, after surgery did 3 months of navelbine and herceptin. (was erpr+ and her2nue +(?)) We watched the liver and had no growth. Then in May 2005 had second breast removed for suspicious lumps, all benign, then in June of 2005 another mass was detected under my arm again. After surgery, I started rads again, and will start herceptin next week.

A long 2 1/2 yrs with no rest period. I get up everyday and put on my boxing gloves.

Thanks for listening, that's my story and Im sticking to it!
