Thanks for the post. I was dx at age 41 w stage 1 Her2+ and have found it frustrating when doing research that most of what I find has to do with more advanced stages. Makes it hard to compair results ,especially since I am only 1 yr out I still have those what if fears. Good to see some positive result figures to calm my nerves.
