Will be 8yrs NED from Stage IV in April

Hello lovelies!
Just wanted to stop by and leave a message of hope. I have had a long battle with breast cancer since 1998 in both breasts. Second diagnosis was inflammatory. I've been on pretty much everything out there for Her2 and got my mets down to the size of a quarter on my sternum. I had radiation to that spot in 2011 and haven't heard a peep since. Still on vitamin H and Zometa. I rarely post. Hoping my thread will offer hope to someone on this site.

Kim
