Not sure if I'm in the right spot. But here is my story. Diagnosed in Aug/2009 with Her2+ Stage 4 breast cancer with mets to the liver. Did 10 months of TCH and now on herceptin only every 3 wks. No surgery was ever offered, 2 years ago was told not a candiate for surgery or for mammograms (was never explained why). Oncologist ordered mammograms & biopsy in Oct/2012 came back as positive. Now offered surgery, after 3 1/2 years, only offered because liver is now clear (no tumors--had 14 tumors) CT scans show all is clear. Has this happened to anyone else. I'm new to this forum. Had a hard time finding some support where I live.
