Hi all.
2001 was the year for me. Dx BC grade 3 Her2+++ node positive (18 out of 22) Mastectomy followed by A/C then 8 doseTaxotere (clinical trial) then 30 rads. Was supposed to have reconstruction at time of operation but surgeon said it was too dangerous to go there. Thyroid shut down due to treatment(now rectified by thyroxine) On Tamoxifen for 1 year before tumour appeared below collar bone. Was put on Vinoralbine/Herceptin. Total regression !!!! Now on Herceptin only and awaiting more results to decide if I can have the long awaited reconstruction. Fingers crossed

God Bless you all Geraldine

p.s. Thanx to the people who started the site, it's inspirational x
