Thanks for sharing. So you were stage IV when dx'd? Wow - you sound so much at peace and not being mad about them not catching it earlier. Sounds like the herceptin has been doing it's job?

Prognosis is all relative. My prognosis grouping is "poor" on my path report and my odd are less than 50%. However, I have no right to complain - I think you're probably thinking "to me 50% sounds great" right? It's all perspective. I try to stay optimistic while still being realistic. Preparing for the worst while still hoping for the best. Does that make any sense? How do your kids handle all of this? If it weren't for mine, I think I could handle the prospects of what might happen so much better....
