Shonda,
HER+ cancers tend to grow and spread faster than hormone positive HER2- cancers.
Herceptin, which was just approved for early stage 2 months ago, works by attaching to HER2 receptors on cancer cells, helping antibodies identify and kill these cells. It doesn't work for everyone.
Ron, No one knows the future, but there's no reason to think your wife won't have many happy years in front of her. I think they are very close to making BC a treatable chronic disease. Read the posts and the studies. It takes a long time, but eventually, you'll feel there's hope. Bev
