I found this group from searching for information on HER2 +. I think this biopsy result finally made me face that I had aggressive cancer. I have been OK up until now, but this scares me. It is helpful reading some of your stories and threads. My surgery is July 30 and I am terrified of the node results, but I see so many of you doing well with node positives this has helped. I have opted for lumpectomy and reconstruction (right) but I now wonder if, because of aggressive tumor (grade 3) and HER + I should consider bi-lateral mastectomy. Anyone have thoughts or faced this dilemna? Thanks for any help and thanks for being here.
