Hi;

Found the lump myself in the shower. Dx Oct 2004, lumpectomy Nov 15, 2004. No positive nodes, 3 cm tumor left breast. Dec 30, 2004 1 cm tumor found by onc in supraclavicular node left side, inoperable. 4 AC, 4 Taxol, radiation...particularly to clavicular area with boosts. During chemo I requested that I be checked for her2 and was found positive by FISH....borderline. Began herceptin during last Taxol infusion and remained on it until 4 weeks ago when my muga score went to 42. Am ER/PR + and taking Arimidex. So far, so good. Going for brain scan and bone density shortly. Trying to track down Bayer Her2 serum test.
