HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - Working thread - what do you think the HER2+ standard of care should be really?

This should be the standard with all our breast surgeons now, especially after sentinel node dissection (SND). I tapped into this early and only had three nodes removed even though I lit up like a Christmas tree when I was first diagnosed. Neoadjuvant chemo (TCHP) dissolves them all and only scar tissue was found.

Most women with early-stage breast cancer avoid extensive lymph node removal
