Re: HER2 learning more is it a bad thing?
Just to clarify... My initial diagnosis March 4, 2010 after my biopsy was DCIS - 3 weeks later on March 29, 2010 when I went in for my Bilateral Mastectomy, the pathology report showed it had grown and became Invasive Ductal Carsinoma with a tumor the size of 1.5mm Stage 1 was then put in place.
