I have a similar diagnosis and have spent hours searching for prognosis statistical data.

A few weeks after I was diagnosed, I decided to change my focus.

I now allocate a few hours a week researching clinical studies and results regarding health, diet improvement and cancer. I want to make sure I am doing everything I can to beat and exceed the statistical odds chart.

As a matter of fact, the link below leads to information from UCLA dated Dec 2006 and coincides with the treatment I currently am receiving -- Neoadjuvant Chemo Therapy (Taxotere, Carboplatin and Herceptin).

I also setup a blog to help channel my feelings, thoughts and treatment ups and downs. Please let me know if you or your wife want to compare notes or just chat.
