I guess I'm not really that long term yet, but here goes: I got scan results back today - there's still inactive scarring in my bones (T10/11), but otherwise, I got a clean scan - nothing in the organs, and brain is clean, too.

I feel blessed and very, very grateful. I have been on Herceptin / Perjeta / Xgeva only since July 2014, and can at this point lead a perfectly normal life (except for treatment every 3 weeks, and scans). When I was first diagnosed I felt like I needed to get my things in order immediately. Now, I am hoping I will still see my daughter have her first double digit birthday in 3 1/2 years.

One day at a time. Life is good.
