Stage 3a her-2+ breast cancer is 85 % curable

[lexigirl]

Hi Joletta,

First off, I am sorry that you have been diagnosed with bc. However, herceptin has changed the outlook for us her2+ survivors. I never had a clear answer from my onc re cure rate. However, my rads onc was always so supportive. Even though I was diagnosed stage IIIb, with met to my skin, he said that "we are here to cure you of this cancer". I really appreciated that supportive comment from him more than he could ever know!

Hang in there. I am hopeful that you will tolerate the taxol and herceptin txs well. Let us know how you are doing. This is such a terrific site for support and answers to your questions.

Hugs and Prayers,
Lexi
