Hi Laura, my story is somewhat similar to your's. I was dx'd Dec '01 while pregnant with #4 child. 5cm tumor er+no nodes invloved. I had mastectomy while pregnant and then chemo(4 AC) and 16 rads after. Liver mets and resection last summer, 6 taxol/herceptin 3 before surgery and 3 after. One small tumor. So far liver looks good!!! Surgery was Aug 23/04. I was well enough when school started to take my kids, Motherhood sure doesn't give you much time off!!
I think your smart to be aggressive with your chemo, I sure hope your onc keeps you on herceptin for at least a year. Also trials for the vaccine also require you to be 6 months out from any chemo treatments and you must be on herceptin. But you may be able to participate in phase III trials next year sometime????
Take care of yourself and try not to push yourself too much you did just have major surgery.!!!!!!
