Thanks for commenting everyone, and Audrey congrats to you at nine years!

Laurel, every year is a milestone and I hope you enjoy and celebrate your two years, many congratulations!!!

Catherine, I'm really not sure if five years is a "mark" but it feels like one to me!

I noticed Steph mentioned in another thread that after five years the risk of recurrance is reduced a little but maybe someone else knows more?

Mcgle, it's interesting to know you did not have herceptin and I wonder if many other's did not have it but still NED...

Jean,I'm sure it's something many of us have wondered about and it'll be interesting to note how many additions we get posted here
