Monday I go back to the onc for what is supposed to be the "options" for treatment. After reading messages and doing "due diligence" I still have no idea what I may be in for. It seems that everyone that is taking chemo has mets and taking Herceptin. I could not find any reference to trials that included anyone that was Stage 1, no node involvement, clear margins and ER+/HER2+. ONCO test results will be back then. Does over amplification of HER2+ mean that I do have mets?
Does anyone else come close to this. I feel the anxiety building. Please help.
