Hi.

1. Did AC, but I'm not sure what is best. Maybe get a few more opinions.

2. I don't know about kidneys, but as you have 2, I would be thinking about getting that one out.

3. I think the fish test is telling you that you have roughly a 50% chance of responding to Herceptin.

4. I have read that most oncotypes for HER 2 + will come back as high risk. It seems to be most helpful for stage 1.

5. Somewhere there is a definitive study as to optimal times for treatments. If you search, you may find it. The Docs like 3 to 5 weeks, but I think people fared well up to 8 weeks. This would be worth looking for.

If you're like a lot of us, you could probably do treatment a week before vacation and be OK. But it looks like if you deferred treatment. you wouldn't be further out than 6 weeks which I think might be OK.

So keep asking questions. Good luck and enjoy your vacation. Bev
