I think the answer to this "why" is that all cancers are different in everyone. We are Her2, but there are other markers that they have not even discovered yet. That's why one thing works for one person and then not the next. Someday,I think closer then we think, our tumors will analzed for alot of different things to determine which chemo to take for YOU, not a standard chemo for eveyone. I asked my onc one day, I don't understand how I can still be here after 15 months without a recurence,yet,with 34 pos nodes!! And he said there might be something in your certain tumor that was responsive to the chemo. I also have a friend dying right now from breast cancer. She was her2 pos with 4 pos nodes and hers came back 5 month after her radtaion. NO ONE KNOWS expect God who that is.
