Here's how much things have changed. I spoke with a woman who's mother has just been diagnosed. She told me that her mother has "the good kind" of breast cancer, because it's Her2+ and there are targeted drugws to treat it. She may be reading this because I directed her to this site. I am amazed that some doctors are encouraging patients by calling Her2 the "good kind of cancer to have."

No cancer is good, but it's a fact of life. And I'm grateful that I got diagnosed early, right after Herceptin came on the market. Her2 was a terrifying cancer to have back in the day. Now thanks to Herceptin and Tykerb, it's very treatable. Amazing.
