Hi Melinda,
You sound alot like me - stage 1, ER+,PR+, HER 2+ , no node involvement, bone scan clear, chest Xray clear, bloodwork good, transvaginal ultrasound clear, stomach ultrasound , CT of brain clear- I am getting FEC - T chemo - 3 rounds of FEC, then 3 rounds of T(Taxotere), then Herceptin for a year, all once every 3 weeks. I do not have mets, and don't want to get them - that is why I am being treated with everything they can throw at me. May also be getting tamoxifen, not sure yet. I have just had my second round of FEC, feeling okay.
Her 2 is a more aggressive cancer, but you and I are in the best possible place right now - stage 1, no nodes, ER+,PR+ - I had a whole talk with my onc. about possible mets - he said he is not treating me for mets right now, and that my prognosis is better now because of Herceptin, now being given to us early stagers, which is fairly recent. So try not to worry about mets.
Best regards,
Caya in Canada
