Re: 5 year's out from stage 3 Her2 pos 35 pos nodes

Sandra, I am now 6 years and 4 months out NED! I see that the dr.'s are giving alot of the newly dx stage 3 women Herceptin and Tykerb. That's awesome! I did take Tykerb 3months (off label). I stopped due to side effects (diarrhea). Doing really well, except for some swelling and pain in affected arm, nothing i can't LIVE with!
