This is my second time around with BC. First DCIS in 2003 with rads and lumpectomy.

This time after bilateral mast I am Stage 1, node neg, ER+/PR-, IDC, Her+++ and doing 6 cycles of Taxol with Herceptin; will continue Herceptin for 1 year.

My onc said she would have considered me 'cured' after the mastectomy had it not been for my Her+++ status. She offered me an aggressive regime and is convinced that I will benefit from Herceptin despite being node neg.

All the best to you.
