Dear Lisa, I was diagnosed in May of 1999...at the time, I had a 3-year-old and a 6-year-old daughter and I was certain I would never see my young daughter start school...I was ER/PR+, her2+, with 15 (out of 36) nodes test positve...I have done 5 years of Tamoxifen, then started Femara (and will be on it for 5 years, I think) and as of May 1st, I have just electively started Herceptin on a weekly basis without any evidence of metastatic disease....(I never thought I would live long enough to be able to take this in an adjuvent setting).......there are long-time survivors!!! so keep the faith!
