Hi Donna,

Your cousin is very lucky to have you as her advocate.

First of all, she has every right to get a copy of her pathology report and any other reports (blood tests, scans, etc). As advised above, she should get a second opinion.

I was diagnosed in January of 2005. I was stage 1 with a 1.3cm tumor, node negative, negative for lymphovascular invasion, grade 3, er/pr+ and Her2+++. My treatment was as follows: dose dense chemo, AC/T, 34 rads, Herceptin for one year and currently on Aromasin. I was 49 years old and premenopausal at the time of dx.

Being the 9th (possibly 12th) person on my mom's side of the family to get bc, I was very aggressive with my treatment.

Hope this helps,

Karen
