Let me introduce myself - I am 34 and was dx last September while pregnant. I did neadjuvant chemo, 4 AC DD and then had bi lat, one node positive. ER PR negative, slightly her2 neu positive. Finished up with 6 taxol and herceptin which ended 6/18. Now I have had a recurrance in the mast site, above expander and in a supraclavicle node. My onc is going to start me in a trial for BRCA 1 positive which just opened up at Cedars- sinai in los angeles, ca. It was originally for ovarian cancer and now they just opened up for bc patients. After the trial I will probably do more chemo (xeloda and tykerb) then rads.
My question is this: this rapid recurrence is bad, but are there stories out there with people who have gone on to the NED happy place? Are neck nodes common? I also post on ysc boards and have never heard of this. Am I just one step closer to mets? I guess these are rhetorical questions because nobody knows for sure, but man am I looking for the light at the end of the tunnel and happy side of things...any input would be appreciated! Much love to all of you ladies who are fighting this disease and helping all us newbies out.
I think I got my signature up. Thanks again.
