Hello,

I am new to this forum and recently diagnosed on 9/25/06 with IDC, Grade 3 ER/90%+ PR 95%+ and HER 2-2+. I recently had a lumpectomy and the sentinel lymph node biopsy along with 3 additional lymph nodes removed that appeared suspicious. I also has a port inserted. I have been waiting for 10 days since my surgery on 10/12 for my pathology report. I get my results this Mon. 10/23.

I am confused with having the ER/PR and Her2 all positive versus having the ER/PR negative. It just seems everything I read on this sounds so discouraging. I would appreciate any information regarding this. I know my Dr said I would be on Herceptin for 1 yr but I have yet to see my oncologist until 10/26.
