New and concerned
I am new to the HER2 board. I have posted only once, in the Welcome Wagon section. I also had questions about the impact of being HER2+ in the long run, especially if you get clear margins and negative nodes with lumpectomy. At first, it seemed inevitable that you would have a recurrence or mets if you were HER2+. So many of the wonderful ladies that post here seem to have mets of some type. It was great to read in this thread that there have been success stories and that some of those women no longer post here. I am so appreciative of all of the special ladies that continue to post here and provide information to the newbies like me.
I had a lumpectomy on 3/7 and 5 of 5 nodes were clear in the OR. I am waiting for the full pathology report from my surgery now. I was supposed to get the report at an appt. with my surgeon this past Friday, but she was out with strep throat. I hope to find out more in the next day or two. For me, the hardest part of this journey so far is the waiting. It seems I am always waiting for something. That part doesn't get any easier, does it?
May God bless each of you in this sisterhood.
Love and prayers,
Susan
