12 years ago today, I was having a D&C for a miscarriage and stumbled upon a diagnosis of breast cancer! It turned out to be 9 cm tumor. Ductal. ER+ & pr+, her2neu-. 28+ grape sized nodes. 11 months of treatment -- 4 dose dense AC, then bi-mast, then 2 more dose dense AC. 12 treatments of taxol and xeloda. Then ovaries out and radiation. Whew! My youngest was 3, now he is 15 and a freshmen in high school. It was a tough time. Tough recovery. I am happy to have had these years and hope for many more. This board helped with my sanity. In turn, my sanity helped keep my family together. I just wanted to stop in here and encourage others! Talk soon, MichelleA
