I recognize both these faces.
I...A lovely tribute. I recognize both these faces.<br /><br />I wasn't allowed into the Herceptin trial by my insurance company (United Healthcare) back in 2000 when I was diagnosed with a 1.7 cm. tumor that was ER-PR- and strongly HER2+ with 3 postive nodes with another tumor growing off one of those nodes. I was 45 and all the pathology scores were as high as they measure.<br /><br />Everything I read made me believe I would recur in 2 years time and die because I did not get Herceptin. That tumor never imaged on a mammogram and thre were no clear margins in that left breast after an excisional biopsy.<br /><br />A bilateral mastectomy, Adriamycin with Cytoxen then Taxol seem to have gotten me this far. <br /><br />HER2 isn't the whole story and so many of us who did not receive Herceptin wonder if that "other shoe" will drop. It has dropped for many who did receive Herceptin. <br /><br />There's still so much we don't know about this nasty disease that can recur many years later. So many wonderful people gone too soon.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
