Hello everyone,
I am as green as they come....Went for a mammogram Feb 3/09...Mastectomy, left breast Feb 27/09.
HER2 positive, 23/26 lymph nodes cancerous. The cancer is metastatic in the bone. (few tiny spots elsewhere too) Waiting to see if the brain scan allows me to take part in this new trial...
My father passes away yesterday and I was able to have a real good cry.
I somehow feel detached from this cancer and am able to keep my thoughts positive and I am NOT ready for the bell curve of 18-24 months to live!!!!
Door 1 was quality of life, in door 2 was the Chemo Docetaxel with Herceptin and in door 3 MA31 trial... with Docetaxel & Lapatinib combo or Docetaxel with Herceptin. Anyone have any feedback?
Love
Jan
