Cool Joanie Long

Hi all - My name is joanie long. I am a two and one-half year breast cancer
survivor with IDC, Stage 2, Grade 2, ER Positive, PR Negative, HER 2++ 6.3, age 69 when diagnosed. Two lumpectomies one week apart because the margins
were not clear, and the second time margins were slim. Spider-like tumor right up against chest wall. Tumor size 8 mm, 9 lymph nodes negative. Treatment:
7 weeks radiation followed by a 5-yrs of Arimidex.

Is there anyone reading this that has a similar situation, and if so, would you be
so kind as to share information?

Also, have any of you had Herceptin or other therapy added to your treatment
after a year or more into Arimidex only treatment???

Thanks to all of you in advance. Joanie
