I am new to the whole cancer scene so have been spending a lot of time searching the net to find answers to my questions. Yesterday I found this site and thought I'd see if anyone who reads the messages could offer some advise. My mother has just had a 3cm grade 3 HER2 positive, node negative, hormone neg tumour removed through a full mastectomy. The HER2 positve was something completely new for us and I have found your site very helpful. What I am wondering is what impact for the future the HER2 pos has for my mother. She has no indications that there is cancer anywhere else and will undergo chemotherapy in 4 weeks. At the moment it will probably be CMF rather than AC due to the increased nausea associated with AC. We live in New Zealand and she has the opportunity to join the HERA trial for people with primary breast cancer. We are wondering if this is a good or bad thing? How risky are trials and would it benefit her? Your advise would be appreciated.
Thanks so much,
Karen.
