I was diagnosed this year. I didn't realize how lucky I was to be getting Herceptin until I found this website.
Like the above post, my oncologist told me that the "average" person with Stage IV can look forward to two years of remission. I am optimistic that I will not be "average" and will benefit from newer and better medicines. I am taking part in a clinical trial (doxil, carbo, & herceptin) for Stage IV BC.
I hope to increase the stats, along with those of you who also receive Herceptin.
Wish me luck!!!!
