just read your note. if you are estrogen or progesteron positive then the cancer is far more treatable. the wild card is the her2 which makes the cancer more agressive. now having said that i know a lady in my town who is her2 positive on the same regimen that i am now currently on and she is a 9 year survivor. i have 3 children ages, 17, 12 and 10. i too hope to watch them all grow and become who they are meant to be but the truth is i have to travel to ft. worth, texas for treatments and being on the road so much may be more of a factor in my death than the cancer. hang in there, you have so much strength right there in your own home.
