early Christmas present--10 yr overall & bc specific survival results just published!

[Rolepaul]

We are celebrating Christmas 2014 after being told that Nina had 3 to 6 months to live at Christmas 2011. She had Intrathecal Herceptin starting January 2012, with IV Herceptin in February 2012. We switched to TDM-1 for the systemic in August 2014. October 2014 MRI scans showed disease in full remission. Confirmed this week with followup MRI and CT scans. There is hope out there for even the worst situations. It takes a site like this to help people out. And then it takes the patient and support group to get the correct treatment done. Fight to get what you need and deserve.

We need you as an Equalizer Paul! Wonderful news on Nina! Your tireless efforts are beyond laudable.

I have no doubt Herceptin has given me the life I would have missed! My Onc was celebrating with me last month my near 10 year survival---he grinned, shook his head, and said, "You had one nasty cancer."

For me: Herceptin 1
