Re: alomost 7 years:)
Leslie,sorry to hear abt your melanoma,it is possible that it won't come back,hopefully you got it in time!!!I hope it is a shadow,pertaining to your rib also.probably the reason that you were not offered Herceptin; Is that it was NOT readily available til some time in 2006,my best friend & I both had Her2 + stage II,since I was diagnosed in 09 ,I rcvd Herceptin....she did not be-
cause she was diagnosed before it came available,but she is 5 yrs. NED,so there is HOPE.....Hang in there Dear!!!
