I just went with a friend whose sister was dx.
with bc...to see her sister's onc. to hear her treatment plan.

she was staged the follow:
Stage 2
1.2 CM tumor
ER positive
Node Positive 1/3
HER 2 Negative
vascular invasion
Do not know the grade
Muga Scan was done and she is 60+

She is a normal weight, does not have any other health issues....she does exercise and she is 65 yrs. old.

The onc. treatment plan is 4 A/C and 4Taxol.
I asked him outside the office when we were alone about TC and he said he wanted to be aggressive
due to the node/and vascular invasion. When I mentioned since she was not Her2 positive...was it
necessary for the A/C. He still felt this was the best treatment.

I have e mailed him this article.

I am a great believer in Dr. Slamon as many on the site already know. He has always been ahead of the pack.
He tested me in 2006 for TOPO 11 and I was neg.
So when he recommended TCH I was confident with it.

I am concerned for her and her treatment - since she
is not HER2 positive. Please share your thoughts.

Thanks,
Jean
