Dx Sept 2003 at age 40. "lump"was lymph node with BC on it but no sign of tumor by mammo or ultrasound. Finally found primary after extensive ultrasound, bit of guesswork and several core biopsies.
ER+PR+ HER-2+++. 3/12 nodes involved. 23mm tumor. stage 2B
Sept 2003- partial mastectomy and aux clearance
Oct 2003- re excision but margins not clear
Nov 2003- mastectomy with expander inserted.
Dec 2003- May 2004 FEC x 8. (only one i know who had that many!!)
Aug 2004- expander changed over to silicone
Oct 2004- ovaries out
Took Tamoxifen and then changed to Arimidex last year. Oh my aching bones!
Nov 2005- started late Herceptin through HERA trial.

I think that is all!
