Hi everyone,

At Jackie's suggestion I am including my update here.

I was dx'd in Nov '02 and enrolled in the BCIRG 006 trial for using Herceptin as a frontline treatment for early Her2 pos breast cancer.

I have now passed the 5 1/2 year mark and are NED and want you all to know how incredibly grateful I am that I was dx'd when this trial was open and that I was lucky enough to be randomised into an arm that received herceptin as I have no doubt that it is why I am NED today.

Love and hugs to all
