PattyZ- a hopeful note for your partner:
Six or 7 yrs ago, in the early days of Herceptin trials, one of my children's teachers, in her 50s, was diagnosed with Stage 3b Her2+ bc. Her tumor was quite large, so they started with herceptin to shrink it as much as possible before surgery. The treatment was so effective that, during surgery, the surgeon could find no sign of the tumor.
The teacher followed up with AC+T, then radiation, and she has had no recurrence since.
