Re: Just Diagnosed HER2+ Stage 4
Good Morning Pam. I never realized you had the exact same diag. as I had 7 years ago. You are a 9 year survivor! That is wonderful. The only mets I have had so far were skin mets on the surface of my mastectomy site. I always enjoy reading your posts. Have a wonderful holiday. Mary L
