Glad you brought this up

and happy to see the responses. My onc had also said after two years it is worth a try. I feel like we are so alike in these things. I am currantly on Epirubicin (basically adriamycin)/Cytoxan/Herceptin and have wondered and wondered if this can really work. I was on A/C 8 years ago, so I know this time frame could make a difference. I try to look at it on the occassionaly positive days as a starting over fresh, but with more information than we had when I was stage I and we were just doing protocol and did not know I was her2 positive.

I am thrilled with your scan results amd hope they offere a sense of relief and encouragement. Keep up the good work beautiful and thank you for invoking the responses. And thanks to all the responders as well.
