Thats is so sweet of you , Micheleu,
I am relatively new to this site and am still finding my way around. My name is Maryanne, was diagnosed last December 04 with bc. ER/PR negative, Her2 +3, node negative. Had lumpectomy in January. Did 4 dose dense A/C followed by 4 dose dense Taxol with Herceptin, then 30 rads. Am in a trial at Sloane's here in N.Y. and will continue with Herceptin for a total of one year. ( I also asked if I could stay on longer since I am er/pr neg and was told herceptin is not a preventative drug????? why not????) I am divorced with 2 children, a daughter at UCLA and a son hoping to follow her next September.....if he ever gets his applications finished! New to breast cancer but not to cancer, my son had Hodgkins last year, doing great....finished his chemo and radiation just in time for my being diagnosed.
Thank you all for making this a great site!
p.s. forgot to mention our dear cocker spaniel who is no longer here....also was diagnosed last year with a melanoma. 2004 just wasnt my year!
