Cured?
So at what point are we considered "cured?" I am 4 years post completing chemo, radiation and 3 years post herceptin and NED. Keep hearing if you make 3 year mark with HER2 positive, you are pretty much home-free since if it is going to recur, would have happened by now. Any other oncs telling you the same thing?
