NED as of Yesterday

[choyces]

I am 50 and was diagnosed July 2011 with HER2 pos. with mets in the lungs and 3 large tumors in the right breast and cancer in the lymph in my neck. My treatment began 8/15 and included paclitaxel, herceptin and tykerb. Yesterday my oncologist said, "We have complete response to treatment." I now continue with herceptin and I am being sent to Dr. Disis in Seattle for the vaccine trial. I did have some rough moments on the tykerb but went to the accupuncturist/Chinese herbalist who made a tea. My supplements kept my blood cells in the normal range throughout treatment. My liver went a little out of whack but within the limits for continued treatment. I feel totally blessed as my insurance actually paid for the tykerb.
