Kat,
I was originally diagnosed in Feb. of 1997 and had recurrence in June of 2001, so didn't quite make the 5 yr. mark. My recurrence was to my liver, multiple mets with partial blockage of the main blood vessel(portal vein I think) in the liver. I did 8 months of Taxotere and Herceptin, followed by resection of the left lobe of my liver just to make sure we got it all. Turns out the pathology showed there was no cancer in the left lobe, just scar tissue. I have been on maintenance Herceptin ever since. I also participated in the UW vaccine trial. I had a single brain met last summer that was successfully treated with Gamma Knife and have been NED so far.
