Dear Susan
I felt that way 2 years ago when I was where you are now. Especially that I was Her2 and had a node involved. But not everyone recurs and thats a fact. You will probably have chemo and radiation and that in itself does a great job in eliminating recurrences. But now, you have Herceptin (and can get it combined with the chemo (I had to take it separately because it only became available after my chemo was done)) and Herceptin reduces the risk of recurrence by over 50% over chemo alone. Yahoo!!!
You will start feeling better tomorrow because you will have done the first thing to begin to cure yourself, the surgery. Then you will move onto other treatments to finish the beast in your breast out of your body forever.
We are all here rooting for you Susan. You will be in my thoughts all week.
A big hug to you
Becky
