I was diagnosed with stage 2 her2+ breast cancer in the fall of 2005. I was terrified. Everything I read online referred to the "poor prognosis" of this type of breast cancer. Then I was offered Herceptin, which had performed so well in clinical trials with late-stage her2+ patients that it was being made available for early-stage women like me. Herceptin changed my cancer from the "bad" kind to a "good" kind. I felt unlucky to be diagnosed with an aggressive breast cancer--but wonderfully lucky that the diagnosis came just when a miraculous drug arrived to treat it!
