Hi Jackie, Nlkoeble and Lizbeth,
This topic resurfacing really came at a good time for me. Thank you so much for addressing this. I wonder if anyone has some advice on my situation.
I am er/pr- her2+ I received FACT and Herceptin, and naturally no tamoxifen with the er/pr negativity. Just finished Herceptin in January(stayed on Herceptin and extra year and a half). After 3 and 1/2 years, I just got another period last week. Back in 2010, chemo put me into menopause. I am very late 40s.
So I emailed onc and he requested I see my GYN and wanted follow up on that appointment and a report. So, I did see her this past week, she tried to do an endrometrial biopsy, no luck. Had a transvaginal ultra sound on Friday, she called said everything is normal. Also had FSH blood work which shows I am postmenopausal.
So thus my question for you, she never got the biopsy and ultra sound says everything looks okay. Would you still insist on a biopsy? I will find out the long term plan tomorrow and she may suggest a biopsy attempt again, or maybe not. Any thoughts on this? I tend to think I should insist. How can we really know for sure without a biopsy?
Any thoughts?
Sleep well everyone
