First diagnosed at age 42,Feb 1997 with 4cm invasive ductal carcinoma. Had mastectomy, followed by 3 rounds of AC, then stem cell transplant, then rads. ER less than 10% + and PR-. 5 out of 36 nodes pos. Sept. 2001, age 46, diagnosed with mets to liver. Had Taxotere and Herceptin for 8 months, then just Herceptin and Femara. Nov. 2002, had liver resection to address spots on liver that turned out to be just scar tissue. NED for 8 months, then markers back up so on to Xeloda. Had to stop Xeloda after 9 days due to extreme low blood counts and infection, but at least my markers came back down. Have been watching things closely and praying alot!
