Help pls

Dear Bev,

When I read people's posts and they know all the minute details of their path report, it amazes me. I guess I wasn't that clear on all of it except I knew it was very aggressive Her2. I'll get the report and see if it makes sense to anyone else. First biopsy: Invasive mammory carcinoma. Second wider margins and lymph gland? Her 2/neu, Her 2/Cep-17. Mean Ratio 2.4. The other backward and forward v symbols I do not know how to type. It's all technical. Hope this answers your questions. I'll have to ask my onc for further details, I don't know if it was plus or minus.

Thanks for your good wishes and the same to you. I'm sure you will do fine. I too was upset about the prospect of losing my hair and if they change treatment that still might occur. I had just purchased a beautiful wig to wear, same color as my hair, when the spine tumor crept up and changed everything.

Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing. I have no idea how many treatments I'm to have, one gal I talked with said her onc said she would need Herceptin forever to keep her alive. My dr has not mentioned that.

hugs,

ginger
