It is great to hear some success stories! This is a scary disease and unfortunately, alot of what we hear is bad news, as the case with our sister, Elizabeth Edwards. I am so thankful to read these positive reports from some long term Her2+ survivors who have been blessed to use Herceptin during the course of their treatment. I go to the oncologist on Monday, 3/26, to discuss my chemo, which should begin in a few weeks. It is good to have this positive feedback before I start my chemo.
Blessings to all!
