5 year's out from stage 3 Her2 pos 35 pos nodes

WoW! I needed that! Thank you so much for that posting back in January. See, even nine months later you are uplifting and inspiring those of us who are scanning this site for HOPE! You have given me renewed hope! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

What about the vaccine? I haven't heard much of it. Are they recommending it at the end of treatment? I've been pretty non responsive to all neoadjuvant treatment and hoping to get to surgery soon. I keep telling my body we can do this, we can heal from this!
Thanks!
Leslie
