Re: Surprise from my biopsy
Hi Amy,
Well, I'm thinking it is good news, right? Remaining strongly HER2 positive should be a good thing. Reading your signature, it seems that it has been a while since you were on just Herceptin & Perjeta. Hopefully switching back to this treatment will keep you stable.
It seems there is limited information regarding how to treat PR receptive cancers. I recall previous discussions on this board regarding this subject and others were also unsure about how this status was specifically targeted. Wondering how your oncologist will address this.
I think of you often and hope you find treatment that gets your cancer stable without having a lot of side effects. For me, I found Herceptin & Perjeta to have manageable side effects. Hoping the same is true for you.
Take care,
Brenda
