I'm almost 9 years out. Had a large tumor in my breast and several large tumors wrapped around lymph nodes. The worst part of my path report was that my KI-67 was 75%. Yikes! That is high. I've had the usual difficulties with se's but haven't heard even a whimper from my IDC. And I drink like a fish eat like a horse and don't do much in the way of alternatives. All you folks who have posted before me, you are also grade 2. Grade 2 is good! Celebrate your good fortune...
