I had 20 positive nodes and like you it scares me, as I rarely see anyone that has had that many positive nodes. Like you I have faith in Him for each day He gives me. I was diagnosed 2 years ago, stage IIIc. I had a left radical masetomy with reconstruction. I finished chemo amd radiation March '06. I have been on herceptin for a year and a half. I am NED! No recurrance or mets. With my diagnosis, that is a miracle. My onc would like to see me on Tykerb now, but FDA has only approved it for metastatic cancer. But I am working on getting it approved for me.

Love and prayers,
Connie
