yes, thanks for asking
This is all my report says:
The breast tissue aggregates to 4 cm in greatest dimension. Multiple sections of breast biopsy show extensive ductal carcinoma in situ (cribform, micropapillary and solid type) with high grade cytology. Blocks (7 and 9) show foci of microinvasive carcinoma with surrounding stromal reaction. Sections of the surgical resection margin show no evidence of malignancy.
ER 2+
PR 2+
Her2 3+
FISH results 25 cells examined her-2/neu signals to chromosomes 17 signals calculated. Ratio was 6.41, indicating amplification of this gene.
I will meet with my onc. with in next 2 weeks. He feels it is okay to finish radiation and then do tamox. I am not so sure. I want the onco test and he thought he had enough info to go on now. At one time he said he would allow me to take herceptin if I wanted, but at the last appt. said this would be unnecessary. I'm confused and scared.
I am 47, pre-menopausal.
Any advice is welcomed.
Susan
