Musicmama. I'm new here and have questions of my own but I can share with you what I've done so far.
Diagnosed 6/10 with IDC.
ER/PR+, Her2 +++, BRCA2 + Had a lumpectomy with snb 9/10, no lymphnode involvement and clear margins, .9cm tumor.
Because of the BRCA2 status I had 6 rounds of chemo, TCH and I'm continuing with Herceptin until 10/11.
I was initially scheduled for a bilat mast but my surgeon went out on medical leave so another surgeon did a lumpectomy to get the tumor out and treatments started.
Now, I'm faced with making a decision of radiation or bilat mast.
I hope you get some answers and options you are comfortable with.
