Good point
I was thinking back and I can think of a handful of people I have run across who recurred around 6-7 years. They tended to be 0-1 nodes and er+ and get quite a few years out of herceptin. Probably the best example is the late, great fundraiser Jane Tomlinson who recurred at about 7 years and lived for about 6 years on herceptin, so no death within the first ten years of diagnosis but not true survival.
Still when I was deciding whether to pay to start herceptin, I searched high and low for an er-/pr- person with four or more nodes who had recurred more than four years out from diagnosis. I found noone.
I will post a thread on the main board to see if we can figure out some patterns on who recurs late.
Take care,
Christine
