I will be 5 years out from DX next April 2011. So I am on my way to 5 years. I, too, hope that Herceptin was the magic many of us needed.

Tricia...happy for you and your 5 year mark next month. Is 5 years still a "mark?" I am not making a joke....I am just not up-to-date on the terminology. In the olden days, 5 years was always the "good mark" to reach and feel somewhat confident that you could "relax."

All the best,
Catherine
