Hi Sunshine,
I was DX last year with HER2 positive ER/PR negative BC, Stage 3 Grade 3 and I had chemo and started Herceptin before MX and ANC. I had a complete response to the chemo and herceptin which means that they found no live cancer cells in any of the tissue removed in the op, only the remains of dead cancer cells. This was from a tumour 80mm x 60mm with 6 lymph nodes involved, so a good result! I am still on Herceptin, 4 more to go.
I have no children (through choice), but my periods started again 4 months after finishing chemo, which I wasn't expecting because I was 46 and thought it would bring on the menopause permanently because of my age.
