Hi Rhonda --

I was first dx in '98 -- stage 1, ER+ PR+ but didn't know HEr2 status then. I had a lumpectomy with radiation. I recurred in May '05, did a mast with reconstruction (still node negative) although I had multi-centric IDC. The path was the same as the first -- but also HER2+. My sentinel node biopsy was negative. I did 4 taxol treatments and then started Herceptin every 3 weeks. I also did a complete hysterectomy and am now on Arimedex.

Best wishes for your friend!

Jill
