Hi,
I am new to this site, so im not sure exactly how to operate the responses....
but i am not new to cancer, unfortunately. I had a recurrence of lobular breast cancer that is HER2 +++, ER+, node negative the second diagnosis. I was initially diagnosed in 2000 at age 46 with the exact same pathology but 3 positive nodes. The cancer returned in a breast area that had been removed with mastectomy in 2001. Then I had chemo but not Herceptin. I am now getting Herceptin and responding well. I had re-mastectomy, and 28 rads to chest wall this time. No previous rads.
Anyway, I am seeing my oncologist tomorrow and I will ask her the definition of pleomorphic. I had also seen the article of the study you mentioned (although only 4 subjects, because we are so RARE! ).
I am now NED .
I recently connected with another of us rare HER2lobs on this very site. Sheis doing well.
I hope you are doing well!
