Re: 7 year Cancerversary!!!
wow Michele. You are an inspiration to me. I had 18 out of 31 nodes be cancer and I have been so afraid of that. I have HER 2 but no ER/PR, just like you. I did have 2 nodes with cancer in my neck, they could not get out. The chemo destroyed them Praise God. That was a local mets since it was on the same side as my masectomy,, so I was a stage 3C. I am in radiation now and doing good so far ( 3 weeks down 3 to go) I am only on herceptin every 3 weeks for a year, I want to find out if i need to go into any trials when this is done. I am having some complications with lymphedema. do you have any issues with that beings you lost alot of nodes too? again thank you for your post. i needed to see that and know jsut because there was so many nodes dont mean it is going to return. thanks again... bonita
