I WANTED TO POST MY STORY AND ASK OTHER HER2 POSITIVE CANCER SURVIVORS ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE. I AM A 40 YR OLD MOTHER OF THREE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS. DIAGNOSED THANKSGIVING OF 2004. HAVE BEEN UNDEGOING HERCEPTIN THERAPY SINCE THEN. HAD CHEMO FOR A YEAR AND A HALF, TAXOTERE/CARBOPLATIN PLUS HERCEPTIN. HAD 38 RADIATION TREATMENTS. STAGE 3B WITH 12 POSITIVE LYMPH NODES. RIGHT BREAST RADICAL MASTECTOMY IN APRIL 2005. STILL FIGHTING THIS BATTLE BUT WITH A MORE POSITIVE AND SPIRITUAL ATTITUDE. MY FAMILY IS VERY SUPPORTIVE AND ENCOURAGING. TRYING TO GO THE ORGANIC WAY....BUT, YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE SO I EAT MOSTLY EVERYTHING IN MODERATION.
MY QUESTION IS, HAS THERE BEEN ANY CAN RECURRENCE WHILE ON HERCEPTIN? JUST FOUND OUT THAT NEW CANCER IS ON MY LEFT CHEST LYMP NODES, CLAVICLE AREA. PLEASE RESPOND, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT. THANKS!

Faith'hope
