Hi there
I am currently enrolled in N9831. I just started Taxol with Herceptin last week. I was diagnosed in May 2003 at the age of 25. I had a lumpectomy and axillary node dissection - 16 out of 18 positive nodes. I tested ER+ and HER2+. So far I am tolerating treatments well. Taxol and Herceptin is much better than AC was. I had a little bit of joint pain after my first Taxol/Herceptin. I love hearing all of these positive stories. I just spoke with a woman froma support group last night who was telling me about many women she knew of that had many positive nodes and are SURVIVORS!!! We have to be strong to beat this nasty disease. Thanks for sharing your stories - I hope to hear from others too!!
