Re: Her3
I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer for and forgot to ask my onc yesterday. I am highly her2 positive. However, I had a grade 1, stage 2 tumor, a bilateral mastectomy, no lymph, clean margins.
With that pathology for that particular tumor, does the her2 high positive status make a difference for the future versus being less her2 positive? Or just the fact that I am her2 positive, no matter what high or low ranking, make me susceptible to a scary future?
I hope this makes sense. I guess what I am really trying to ask is if the her2 ranking affects long term recurrence in other locations?
