Thanks everyone for your good wishes.
Hillburn - we sound very similar in our dianosis - yes treatment was severe but there is a light at the end of the tunnel and we meet such wonderful people along the way. I finished Herceptin and then was put onto a drug trial - when all drugs and treatment finished it was like - 'what now'. But after a while you realise that life without treatment does exists and being confident in your body and moving on to the things life has to offer is so very important.
I really wish you all the best as you continue your journeys in life. If you ever want a chat - I live in Brisbane and would be happy to meet for a cuppa or contact me via the forum.
Luv and a happy new year to all!
