Hi Susan and triple positive ladies,
I was ER+ PR+ HER2++ postive tumor was 1 1/2 cm nod. negative dx almost 6yrs ago and still NED. I had a lumectomy and 2 cmf chemos before HER2 results were in and then my Onc switched me to 4 A/C chemo's and 28 rad. I took Tamoxifen for 9 months and then swithced to Arimidex just under 4 yrs. I have had a few scares which that weren't anything and a PET scan done in June that was clear. I too wonder if triple positive node neg. have less chance for recurrence or maybe it was the chemo and Arimidex? I am glad that I did the chemo I was 49 at the time and for me the peace of mind out weighs the side effects.
But if they would of had the Oncotype DX test 6 yrs ago I would had it.
My Best To You,
Bevie
