I know this about Her2 and herceptin, but what I am not understanding is why her2 is good as long as it has not spread at diagnosis. It just doesn't make sence. HER2+ is HER2+ whether it has spread or not right? Herceptain works the same way on the cells no matter where the location. The weird thing about mine was that at the time the lump was removed it didn't show to be her2 but when they did the mastectomy and the bone biopsy her2 showed up every where so who knows.. All I know is I am on herceptain and I feel and look great and I have a life to live and 5 little kids that depend on their mommy!!! IT WILL not interfer with that!!! However I took them skating today, but I did not skate scared I might break my hip or something. Thanks,
Shonda
