Welcome Melanie.............I'm happy you found us and can say with all sincerity that this site and it's members are a very caring, knowledgeable and compassionate group.
As you can see from my signature at the bottom, I was diagnosed with her2 positive breast cancer in 2005. I had 1 node of involvement and a large tumor, 4 cm. I, too, did 4 dose dense A/C and 4 dose dense Taxol along with herceptin given every 3 weeks. Also, I had 28 radiation treatments after chemo was finished.
Here I am..........................2 years and 2 months out and I am NED (no evidence of disease). Herceptin is a wonderful drug that we all hope and pray gives us many many many many years with no recurrence or should I say NO RECURRENCE EVER. We have good odds (that sounds so cold but wasn't sure how else to say it) and those odds are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better than they were for us her2 people a few years ago.
I'm glad you can find blessings already in your journey. Continue to look for them as they are there. We learn much on this journey and the journey can be a wonderful blessing if we let it be.
Hugs and God's Peace I send you.
Mary Jo
