Re: experience with aggressive HER2 cancer
Olga,
My lump was 4.5 cm on first scan and when I had my mastectomy - surgeon cleared her schedule to get me in 5 days after consult - it was 6cm.
Please do not delay and seriously consider getting a more proactive breast surgeon - yours sounds to me like she/he has failed you already!
Good luck
Jenny
