With Gratitude...
I want to thank all my sisters and (gentelmen) who have offered their kindness, loving support, strong humor, information and most of all their never giving up attitude.
This is a very special group which I cannot even imagine living without - my past 6 years on the her2 site have brought great joy and greater sadness.
I find it amazing how this family of sorts offers and gives so much to each other - many who are at an advanced stage never complaining always displaying amazing strength & courage with an awesome attitude. Truly women who are leaders and heroes.
I also want to take the time to remember and say a prayer for all the wonderful strong women we have lost through the years. My heart will carry each one. I pray for the day that we conquer breast cancer.
Thank you to all my friends who helped me in the early days of my dx when I needed the support and advice that was so freely given. The wonderful ladies that encouraged me along that first difficult year. When I did not have answers they supported me to find them no matter what lengths it took. A take no prisoners attitude which assisted me to push for answers and not fear the unknown. Thank you dear ones.
It is my 6th cancerversary today and I want all newly dx to know that you will also have many wonderful years to acknowledge.
My love to all and God Bless,
Jean

Re: With Gratitude...
I was diagnosed in September 2010 and had never heard of her2. After much research found that I did not like what I had read until I came to this site. So much positive information that I finally felt like I could put one foot in front of the other and continue on. The fear of recurrence never escapes me but I know that will get better in time. I see alot of discrepancies on recur rates and I wish I had a clearer picture on that. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I had mastectomy, 1.5 cm stage 1 grade 3, er,pr+ and her2+. was told that her2 was dormant and had not started to attack yet. I had 6 taxotere and carboplatin with herceptin and will be finish the year with herceptin. ALso just got started on femara. I am 49 yrs old. No lymph node involvement. Getting stronger everyday just wish my hair would grow alittle faster. I love all the great survival stories and hope to be one of them also. Thanks for any input.
