I had AC and T in 1998. I didn't have a recurrence until May of 2004. At that point a few treatments of Herceptin wiped it out of my lungs, skin, lymph nodes and liver. Unfortunately, it did return to the bones in February a year ago and I am currently dealing with that. Nevertheless, everything else remains clear. I really believe that if I had been able to receive Herceptin back in 98, I might not have had a recurrence. I do believe the taxol helped to give me six years without treatment.
Best regards,
Barbara H.
