HER2 Positive-anyone 10 years out?

Lighthouse1

How about 5 years out?  That is after a nasty little recurrence of an initial stage 1.  But it has been away for five years now with herceptin only.  So now I am going for 10...

Well, I am not at 10 years yet but I have just passed 2 years and it feels really good.  Every pain still scares me but it is getting better each day.  So far so good!!  Lauren

P.S. Angie, Two years for us !!! YEA!!

You girls are all amazing.  I've just been dx'd with a Her2+ so reading this is making me feel safer.  I hope to be posting in 10 years helping others.  Well done to everyone who is living and loving life years after dx.  I just have to keep telling myself, "This is treatable".

I just had my two year clear mammogram and hope to celebrate with reconstruction.When I was diagnosed,I broke down when the oncologist said"it is very aggressive"When I calmed down, he told me that I was in luck as there was a new drug called herceptin and it was working miracles..and it was..and it is!

Just found this site and wanted to reply that I am 9 years since diagnosed with stage 3, Her2+, ER/PR neg BC.  There is hope! Fastly approaching 10 years.

We are so happy to hear your story!!!!!!! Can you please share more of your story, did you have early Herceptin any other follow up treatment (hormonal)

If you don't mind sharing your story we all take so much away from success stories.

Congrats to you!!!!!!!!!!

I am twelve years out and cancer free and that is without Hercpetin, which was not available to me in 1998 when I was diagnosed.

I have made this a favorite. I love hearing good news. I am on my way to 3 years since diagnoses. I have great hope of never having to deal with it again!!!! God knows there will be other things to deal with.  But for now I feel pretty darn good!!!

Congratulations on being three years out, Bold! I love your spunk!!! It's contagious.

I just got my results from my mammogram (three years post diagnosis). Nothing abnormal apart from scar tissue from surgery and radiation. Thrilled to have made it this far.

I'm 2 years out from diagnosis.  I just had my mammogram and all is well.  Had my 3 month followup with my oncologist today and all looks good!  I'll be 1 year out from Herceptin in August and wanted to let you gals who may be struggling with side effects that it does get better.  Much better.  so if you are not one of the ones who sailed through, there is hope!  I'm now feeling better physically than before diagnosis, have begun to lose the 23 lbs i gained and I will be looking for work. Its been 1 step at a time but my those steps add up.
