Jojo -
1996 - First diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. Herceptin was not out then so I was not tested for it.
1999 - Recurrence to liver and lymph node same side of bc. This put me at stage 4. Tested positive for Her2 and started end of year.
2002 - Recurrence again to liver. Had liver surgery in Sept/2003. Have been on Herceptin for 4 years now. I feel it has really helped keep me stable in between along with other chemo's I have tried.
I do wish that the Herceptin had been out when I was first diagnosed and I had been tested at that time but that's the way my cards fell. I feel great and plan to stay on the Herceptin as long as I can.
Good luck to you
