Hi Kim, Great name!
I just wanted to tell you, that if there is anything I have learned on this odyssey, nobody knows what someone's prognosis is! We are all so different. I was originally diagnosed in Feb. 97, had recurrence to my liver in June 2001. The mets to my liver were widespread! Here I am 3 1/2 years later with no evidence of disease(NED). I was able to see my kids grow up and even welcome my first grandchild into the world on Mother's Day! I was able to get into the Her2 Vaccine trial at U.W. and just finished up my last vaccine on Dec. 2. I was told by one doctor in 2001 that I probably had about 18 months! So you can't listen to statistics, cause we are really in uncharted territory when it comes to being Her2+. My game plan has always been to be agressive with my treatments and thanks to this website, I have learned the importance of regular scans and brain MRI's.
Wishing you all the best, Kim in CA.
