Hi there, don't get tooo disheartened, I have been doing the same thing since 1998 and they gave me 2-3 years back then because it was so aggressive, radical mastectomy, removal of chest and pectoral muscle and 16 glands all positive with no clear margin and not hormone responsive. My does as I ask, he says the fact that I should have been dead years ago means I must know what I am doing, with the help of this site of cours. The fact that we can have herceptin gives us a 47% better chance than those that can't have it. I have lost a few friends to BC who should have outlasted me let alone succumb to it. Each day we survive we get 1 day closer to a cure. I just seem to get rid of it, then it pops up again, I think we need to think of it as diabetes, and just keep it under control..I know some ladies have taken Xeloda as a maintenance drug for 10 years and I think I may end up in that category some day. I had a CT on my chest and liver today and all clear, so they say and I am having a MRI on my head neck and shoulder tomorrow so will know on Tuesday what my next episode will be. Mine has alway reoccured in the lymphs, skin and now in the remaining breast. You definately need a sense of humour to survive.
Love & Ggs Lyn
