Gabrielle in 10th year
Hi Friends,
Just want to check in and say I'm in my 10th year.
Diagnosed Dec 23 1999. Stage III at age 44; Her2/Neu, estrogen negative; 9 positive nodes out of 21; 5.2 cm tumor, infiltrating ductal.
Treatment: Mastectomy; 4 rounds of adriamycin / cytoxin, 4 rounds of taxotere, 25 hits of radiation; 52 weekly treatments of Herceptin.
Prophylactic mastectomy and hysterectomy one year after diagnosis.
It hasn't recurred. My kids were 9 and 12 at diagnosis; now they are 18 and 21.
Almost halfway through my doctorate. God is good.
Wishing all of you the best. Stay hopeful!
Hugs,
-Gabrielle
