Hi Girls,
I am new to this site but I am frustrated with the average prognosis for us stage IV folks who are taking Herceptin. Specifically, I am ER/PR -, Her 2 +++ and grade 3. I have mets to the lungs; and am taking Herceptin weekly. (for months with navelbene, now herceptin alone). My oncologist says he thinks he can give me 10 years. But every web site and indeed a 2nd opinion oncologist at Sloan says the average life expectancy from date of diagnosis is 2 years. What is your experience? This is depressing; I so want to see my 10 year old thru to his graduation. Please share your experiences girls!
Hugs and blessings,
Kim (mamacze)
