I'm glad you found it helpful, Eric... Wanted to also share that there is a woman who posts here sometimes named Bev D.... She had 5 or 6+ nodes 5 years ago and is still going strong. She did not have herceptin but she did have a stem cell transplant... which I have considered asking my doctor for (although I'm sure I'd have to really fight him for that one! They are not often done anymore as the benefit was minimal at best over traditional chemo.)
All my best wishes to your wife... may she also find herself in the category of "her2+ with no recur"!!! Keep fighting to get her the treatment that you believe is best.
Love and hugs,
Lauren
