Re: BRCA2+ and HER2+
I am BRCA2 and Her2 positive. I was diagnosed in April with my second breast cancer, and was only tested for BRCA after that diagnosis. I am Stage II.
I participated in a clinical trial with neoadjuvant Herceptin/Perjeta through the beginning of July, followed by 6 rounds of Herceptin/Perjeta/Taxotere/Carboplatin. I will receive my last chemo on Oct. 28, and will continue with Herceptin through April.
My surgery will be the first week of January.
Let me know if there are any questions I can help you with.
Sorry to meet under these circumstances, but survivors are the absolute best for support and information!
