Hi,
I have her 2 inflamatory breast cancer. I did not have my breasts removed. I had lumpectomies when small reoccurances appeared. I have been using Herceptin, Navelbine and Armimidex as well as complementary medicine. It has been 8 years and there have been no distant mets so far. Each person has to weigh the pros and cons and make a decision that it best for that person after discussions with doctors and research. Of course that person has to take responsibility for his or her decisions.
Hang in there.
