So hi, I am brand new to the site. I did not know herceptin goes on and on...I am new to all this...my Dx was 1/22/13 with lumpectomy& SNB 2/1/13. I had CAT Scan, bone scan and MUGA. I receive my port tomorrow and first of 6 treatments of TC-H the day after tomorrow. I was Her 2+++ stage IIa grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma 3.5 cm an an additional 1.5 cm DCIS. I was told berceptin was for a year...why more?? Today my Onc called to say I need an ultrasound of my pelvis because CAT scan shows something that looks like a cyst but they can't tell. Should I worry?? I am 54 (on Sunday) and went through menapause as all this lump in my breast stuff started last May. Lump first Dx in June as a cyst but in December had grown so January FNA showed IDC. I had negative SNodes so this thing on my ovary should be nothing, right?
