Although my prayers are with everyone that they won't reoccur but I honestly believe that all is not lost if you do.
After being diagnosed as Stage IV in October 2007 I am pleased to say that I have been NED after only 3 cycles of Taxotere + Herceptin. I JUST returned from my check up and have now been NED for 5 months.
I plan to just keep on adding up the months!!!
I also GREATLY appreciate the sisters on this site that are participating in the DM1 trial and share so freely about their experiences. Their first hand knowledge give me further hope that if things change, there are a lot of options remaining.
Thanks to everyone on this site for being so inspiring!!
