Jeff - Thanks - I printed off to read tonight.
Beth - I haven't recurred (yet). Hope not to, but the odds are not in my favor. Was dx'd in 1/04 while pregnant. Stage IIIC IDC with 11/18 nodes positive (one was nearly 4 cm, bigger than my primary tumor). Her2+, ER-, PR+23%. Had a mastectomy, AC and then T * 4 each 3 weeks apart, herceptin for a year, rads, tamox. I feel like I'm not being any more aggressive than someone with much earlier staging and much better odds, so I'm always wondering if there is something I can do more. I have a 2 year old and a new baby. I really want to be around for them as they grow up. I NEED to be here for them, and for myself as well. Would you share your story?
