Hi curryalso. I write to the group because my sis was diagnosed as HER2 positive last March, however I am also a breast cancer survivor of twenty six years. HER2 wasn't tested for then, so I don't know my HER status, but I'm guessing I was not positive. I received a year of CMF chemo on a three week cycle, after a month of weekly treatments. My cancer was at least stage two, as I had nodes affected and a rather large tumor. I had a mastectomy, followed by the chemo. I remain vigilant about breast health, but have been NED since my surgery and treatment. I hope that you have good result with this regimen---it has certainly served me well! Perhaps a HER2 sister who has received this chemo will check in. Wishing you the very best!
