Re: New to the Group
Hi Tracie. and welcome to our group. You and I have many similarities: I had 12 out of 14 pos nodes, had a normal mammo a few months before, dxed at 49, ate healthy, exercised, am a nurse (did onc nsg straight out of nsg school ) and got dxed w Stage IIIC dx.
HER pos tumors come up at of nowwhere....
My tx plan was AC X4 then Taxotere X4 ( I am er/pr neg which is often time preferred in Hormone neg tumors and HER2 pos. I had herceptin and did 5 fields of rads /d x 35.
Now the GOOD part is I just celebrated my Five yrs " out" and I am pretty much back to me.
I know it's a shocker, but you'll get through it. This is a great forum. PM me if you have any ?.
Take Care and one day at a time.
