Boy this is crappy news for me. I was premenopausal and node +- had mastectomy, then I have had a bunch of surgery since: Ovaries and gall bladder, then bilateral DIEP (preventative prophy R side- tested BRCA negative, but was burned by dense breasts on a mammo before, was going to have to have a lift/major surgery on that breast anyway to match reconstructed side), thyroid surgery, port placement surgery, and recently hernia repair and part of Stage 2 reconstruction (have to wait until June for nips).
But then again I had never had surgery (or any other disease) before my triple + cancer was diagnosed.

Does being on herceptin help? I am assuming none of the initial surgeries are done while on herceptin.
