HER2 Positive-anyone 10 years out?

HI To everyone as well.

I am also at 4 1/2 years now and just went through a recent scare but all turned out to be NORMAL once again. It sure is good to be amongst good company with all of these HER2 survivors. 

Count me in! 10 years this month.  I don't hang around the board often, but drop by once in a while to post.   A lot has happened in 10 years, aside from the life we all know.  My sister had babies (twins) born, a baby die, and then a fourth child (healthy), my Father was diagnosed with prostate cancer (now 4 years NED), lost my Mother, watched my children move from elementary school, to middle school, high school and now college.  My daughter was in kindergarten when I was diagnosed.  She's now in the 10th grade.  My son was a third grader and now is a freshman (Knob) at The Citadel. 

Time marches on....I'm still marching to the beat.  Keep marching girls!!!!! 

Hi Ladies.. just finished chemo 6 x TCH, now onto continued Herceptin for 1 year in a few weeks.

Were you able to work during HER2 infusions (every 3 weeks). Im hoping the side effects are not as severe as the TCH.

Thanks and Hugs to all of you!.

dventi 2 year survivor here. Finished Herceptin Sept 2011. Minor stiffness but that's it… some of that stiffness was from anastrozole because I still have it. You should have no problems getting back to your normal routine once your chemo SE fade away.

jryan, lago, Jennt28.. Thanks for info!!

lago - 2 year out! great news.... so happy to hear..Question is anastrozole endrocrine therapy? Im scheduled for Femara in about 2 weeks --How long do you have to take anastrozole?

Lago- I forget are we luminal b?

Yay Soccermom4force!

All of you ladies are inspiration to me! Thank you for being here, sharing your stories, and offering support to others!

Soccermom and Sheila - thank you for the hope and congratulations!

Hello Sistahs!! I am coming up on my 4 year anniversary. It is hard to believe so much time has gone by.. My breast is still sore. HA

I guess it will be forever and thats ok as long as forever is a long time. I think I will breath even easier after the five year mark. Life is good!!

Rock on

Thanks to everyone for this wonderful thread!  Just diagnosed and I'm sure I'll return to this thread often for inspiration!

Yes, please come back often. Many HER2-Pos women don't post past treatment, and I suspect it's because they're out there, living their lives.

All the best to you.
