Hell yes Sassy, we are the "Trailblazers " for sure!!!!

'Lizbeth, I was referring to the fact that Herceptin was only approved for early BC a week before many of us were dx in 2005, before that most prognosis for her2*** was one year so already to me and others here this miracle drug really comes close to THE cure and has given some of us many more years than we otherwise would not have had. It may possibly have cured us, that remains to be seen in years to come but we remain positive...( my response was primarily to Caya's comments and geared towards other early stage her2-ers)!
