Triple Positive Role Call?
Amelia (aka Schoolteacher), please let me know about the E-Cadherin testing. I will be seeing my onc on Wednesday and will definitely be bringing our discussion to her. I am strongly triple positive: Her-2 = 6.9, Er=80%, Pr=90%. Presently I am taking Tamoxifen for 1.5 yrs whereupon I will switch over to an A.I. This plan has been suggested as I am 49 and although I have not had a period since May, I may not be menopausal. Another question for my onc: how do you test to know whether you are postmenopausal.?
Well, another fine mess to sort out on our own, huh? By the way, just wondering how many triple pos. folks are out there? I know we are the minority within the Her-2 community. Can we get a role call going?
