Just joined the 10 years out club - diagnosed in Oct. 2006- had a breast reduction (after a clean mammogram and breast u/s 3 months earlier) - my plastic surgeon found my tumour. Then the whirlwind began.
Herceptin had been approved for early stagers in Canada about a year before my diagnosis. My onc. had high hopes for me. And here I am, 10 years later.

Looking forward to celebrating many more decades of being cancer free.

all the best
