Re: Lymphovascular invasion / survivors ?

Hi Lilneenz and welcome, I'm in Ireland so not a million miles away from you. Perjeta is given here as my friend just had it last year but when I was dx twelve years ago I just did chemo with herceptin and rads as I'd had a lumpectomy. The NHS entitles you to a second opinion if you think that may help and I remember reading a link on how to go about that so have a google or let me know and I'll try to find the link for you. Neg nodes is great news and Herceptin has been a life saver for me and I had three positive nodes. I have a friend who had FEC many years ago and just celebrated thirty years out although she was triple neg. I can't advise other than that but I'm sure many others will and just wanted to welcome you to the group and let you know you're not alone, hang in there.
