***Calling all Stage 1, node neg, ER+/PR-, HER2+ girls***

[DeborahNC]

Rhonda,

Thanks for showing interest in us Stage 1's. At times I get the feeling Stage 1 is not considered a genuine 'cancer experience'.

I am Stage 1, .3cm IDC (extensive DCIS), Er+ (weakly)/PR-, Grade 2, node neg via SNL, Her+++, post bi. mastectomy. Rec. tx. 6 rounds Taxol/Herceptin; I only got through 3 rounds Taxol due to severe neuropathy. Will continue with one year Herceptin.

Two years prior to this ocurrance I was Stage 0; lumpectomy with 33 rads.

edit: I'm 52, Taxol pushed me finally into menopause. All the best to your friend and I'm glad to see you posting.
