Hi!

Thanks so much for the reply, here is more info on me. I was diagnosed last year in August. I had two tumors in my right breast 1- ER/PR- Her2+++ 3cm. The other one was ER/PR- HER2- and 2cm. Modified radical mastecomy. Removal of internal mammary gland totally replaced by cancer and axillary lymph nodes , 1 of which was positive. I am still finishing my year of herceptin. Just wondering how likely I am for a recurrance with Herceptin. All the data they post talks about improved survival rates for 1 year.....what about after that? My onc said that they dont have that yet, so they really dont know.
