SoccerSarah,

My name is Arlyce and I am going through treatment right now. I have been diagnosed as stage 2B. First of all, there is hope! I remember like it was yesterday the fears that come with the diagnosis. I started this process last June, had a mastectomy last July and started chemo in August.

The chemo that you are talking about that will last a year is probably herceptin. Am I right? After you get through the first set, things will look up.

I am starting radiation this week. This is my second step.

Let me know how everything is going. This is a great site for support and questions. There are many here that are more knowledgable than I am, but I am here for you and your mom.

Stay strong!
