Hi Leslia's sister Lisa,

Me and your sister sound like we had the exact same diagnosis and treatment. I can so relate to how she feels. I, too, was diagnosed at Stage 2. My tumor was also large and I had 1 lymph node with a microscopic cell in it. I had one breast removed July of 2005 and the other breast removed (precautionary measures because I had a calcification in that breast - all benign thank God) -March of 2006. Also, I was ER/PR neg. and Her2 pos. Tumor was grade 3.

Thankfully we have herceptin. I look at it as the miracle drug. Chemo is tolerable and taking your antinausea meds is a MUST whether you are nauseated or not.

I'd love to communicate with your sister if she'd like to communicate with me. I'd love to encourage her and be their for her. I, too, am close to our Lord and would love to befriend her as a sister in Christ and a breast cancer sister.

My e-mail address is mcyr@charter.net and I hope and pray to here from her.

Love in Jesus,

MaryJo - (age 46) finished chemo Nov. 30, 2005 - finished radiation Feb. 2006 - will finish my one year of herceptin on Oct. 11, 2006. I am trusting the Lord for complete healing.
