Re: Excess Pounds Raise Risk of Breast Cancer Recurrence, Death: Study

Hey Sandra,

I think that so many women are ER+ that news for this is almost generalized for all survivors.

I was just reading the other article about trautuzumab and a 4times+ chance of heart disease in survivors. I think we Her2 survivors better focus on being lean & mean for our best health. Besides, we can wear the skinny jeans that way, lol!
