Hi Tracie -- I agree cancer sucks. It's a mean and vicious foe and we have to fight it with everything we and the doctors can provide. There are many people who have done well with treatment and with Herceptin, they have been able to stave off the cancer from returning or progressing. There is hope and take heart that many people have been in your shoes and are here to provide support, prayers, and understanding. Best wishes as you move forward in your treatment.
