Chelee's response is important to remember and a reminder that everytime we are rediagnosed, it is very important to get the tumor reevaluated. Receptor status and Her2 status can change during your journey. I just went through serious surgery to get a surgical biopsy completed in a very difficult spot in my neck because Dr. Slamon said it wasn't enough to know it was breast cancer----he needed to know all the characteristics of my recurrence in the neck to know exactly how to treat me. It wasn't until the past few years that they discovered tumors can change characteristics.
