Congratulations, Nancy. I am coming up on 4 years on April 18. I too, thought maybe I would not make it when I first heard the DX of Breast Cancer, Stage IIB. Then they told me that in years past the er-, pr- and HER2 plus was a very bad DX. But now it was 2006 and they could ofer me Herceptin and we think you will be okay. Well I started reading about my new DX and thought....I hope they are right about Herceptin. Anyway, 4 years later, I am fine and I, too, take more time to smell the roses. This is a great group and I have gained strength and wisdom here.

Hugs to all, Catherine
