Hi, I'm Sandie from Illinois.

I was diagnosed in 2000 with stage 2 tumor. Had a lumpectomy. Tumor HER2++, er/pr -. No node involvement. Had A/C then 6 weeks of radiation.

Felt great and didn't keep up with follow-ups as often as I should have. Diagnosed in 2003 with mets to Lungs - tumor 9 cm. On navelbine/herceptin for a year and hurrah! NED

On triple herceptin every three weeks for 6 months. Again I felt great. But, found out tumor came back again. I've been on navelbine/herceptin now since January. I go for a scan in two weeks. Hopefully, the tumor's shrinking.

I'm a third grade teacher, which has really been a godsend. The children keep me so busy and we have so much fun while working I don't have time to worry about any personal problems. I just wish they could share some of their energy with me.

I love this website. It's great to talk to people who have the same issues. I really appreciate all your advice.

Thanks everyone!
