Eileen,
I think sometimes we get a distorted view of the relapse situation from this Board, because so many of the people who post have recurrences. It makes sense that the people with recurrences are the ones actively sharing information about treatment; those without recurrences are not as likely to need the resources provided here. Plus, if Becky says it, I know it must be so.  Take heart. They say the greatest risk is in the first two years, and you seem to have passed with flying colors.

I agree that sometimes we get a distorted view from this board. When I first came I went into shock over the number of stage 4 woman who started out stage 1 or less. But then I realized that a lot of those woman did not have Herceptin available until after they had mets - and I also realized that the people who are actively being treated for cancer are much more likely to post and stage IV people have a lot more challenges then the rest of us.
