Hi Lexgirl... I was dx'd with StageIIIb IBC and IDC back in Dec of '99. HER2+++ ER+ PR-. I was 50 at the time.
Didn't get Herceptin from the get go...as is so readily available now... But, when I had recurrance to mediastinal node/s, spot on lung and spot on pelvis (July 2002) the combination of Herceptin/Navelbine did a great job in just two months.
Tho' I have had brain mets for the past 3+ yrs, I remain without progression in the rest of my body.
Today I am doing well and feeling well, although I have been to the edge emotionally many times these past six years. Great support and up to date information / treatment has seen me through... and I hope that will be your experience as well.
hugs,
pattyz
