welcome mary
Hi mary, there are a lot of us with these things in common. I was dxed with stage 1 while still nursing my second daughter. She was 14 months by the time all the tests were done. That was 2000. My older punkin was 3 at the time. My 2nd dx came in 2002 with extensive liver involvement and some lung activity. Now there seems to be bone stuff too. I've done a fair amount of chemo, lots of herceptin and a lot of hormonal manipulation as i am also er/pr+. I feel great and my daughters are 9 and almost 7 and i'll be damned if i'm going to let my ex-husband raise them without me.
Anyway we are here to fight together and you landed in the best place!
