What do you know, Stephanie Spielman was just on TV last night talking about her fight. First of all she was diagnosed with her recurrence after her 3rd pregnancy. No problem, went on Taxol & Herceptin, then maintenance Herceptin. Later on she became pregnant(accidentally) with her 4th child while on herceptin and everything turned out fine. The segment showed Stephanie doing just fine - she was actually jogging with her two youngest in the stroller, preparing for a marathon race. Her oncologist (who is considered one of the top in Ohio at the James Cancer Center) stated her 3rd pregnancy did not cause the recurrence, the 4th pregnancy did her no additional harm, and she continues to thrive and do well on maintenance Herceptin. Here is a stage IV person who isn't letting this keep her from living. Do your homework and decide for yourself. Good luck and God bless you on your decision.
