Whoa, don't know what to say about that one. Like others have said, maybe he is just going by what the general "old" prognosis for HER2 was. Doesn't sound like he is treating his patients as individuals. What would make him consider you with no lymph node involvement as a poor prognosis. Especially with Herceptin and other drugs now available..I guess he would put "doomed" on the bottom of my chart. I didn't know you could even ask for your charts to read when doing chemo. I'd almost be afraid to...sherryg
