My story:
Diagnosed with BC in 2002 - lumpectomy, 6 rounds chemo then radiation - put on tamoxifen
2003 - 4 tumors found in my ovaries, hysterectomy all tumors benign, mets to the lung and liver - 2 liver operations - put on Arimidex
2003 - chemo - taxotere and herceptin - finished chemo end of 2003 but stayed on Herceptin every 3 weeks
2006 - 2 very small spots appeared on the lung from scans
April 2007 - last Herceptin treatment
May 2007 - will start on tykerb and xeloda
Have been stage 4 since 2003
I am 54 - exercise 5 days/week - 3 times/week spin classes for an hour, weights and eat healthy as I can
BC did not know who it was dealing with when it came to my body - I am a survivor!!
Hope this helps.
B
