I was diagnosed in Jan 2000 with infiltrating lobular carcinoma and am her2 3+ positive. I was treated for a year, but then the cancer came back in my bones and I was dx in April 2002. After 18 mos and lots of setbacks I managed to make it to NED. Right now I am on herceptin alone and doing well. I just pray it continues. My advice is to try to get into a herceptin trial to hopefully prevent a recurrance. In the meantime, remain very positive and look at this as a chronic illness that you can manage. I really believe that a positive attitude makes a difference when dealing with this.
