Re: Recurrence after 12 years
Hey, JayKay!
Glad you are out of the shadows! You strike me as one of us TOB (tough old broads) so I think you will sail through this second go 'round with the beast. I agree with Hopeful that this is a second primary. It is odd that it has the same signature. Sounds like your nodes are clear, so off to chemo-land, Herceptin, and back to life for you (ok, no crystal ball, but full of optimism for you!).
Chime in from now on and keep us posted on how you feel after the first chemo. We are here for you!
