Hi again Patty,

this is another useful article: http://theoncologist.alphamedpress.o...bstract/13/1/6

In case you're interested I was diagnosed nearly 2 years ago, grade 3, stage 3a, 4cm IDC, a lump of 2cm came up on the pet (it was clearly palpable), so one or more? lymphnode also affected. HER2 + but Er and Pr negative. went through 12 weeks of taxol + 12 weeks of FEC all accompanied by daily lapatinib and weekly herceptin. April 08 had surgery with the results I've already said. Just add my 6monthly check up and all is fine so far.

I'm finally feeling on top of things again, in control of my life and making the most of it! Enjoying my daughters and not worry )too much) about the future. Today I'm still here and life is good!

best of luck with the rest of your treatment,

chiara
