NED came to visit for the fourth year running ...

Had my 4th year post-op mammogram and ultrasound yesterday. Sent on my way - phew!

Thus far, it was the correct decision to forgo chemo and herceptin, in spite of my weak HER2 positivity.

Thanks, Chelee.

Glad you were fine too, Brenda.

These tests are so nerve-wracking, aren't they?!

Re: NED came to visit for the fourth year running ...

Thank you, Tricia, Lexi and Elaine.

I am part of a sub-group of HER2; there aren't many like me! But my pathology report definitely states I am HER2+.
