Trying to keep all the info correct.

Prior to surger...biopsie said Grade 3
After surgery Grade 2B
Tumor size 4.2cm
Nodes Negative
PET scan clear
ER-/PR-

We are at 48...actually 53 hours post chemo (TC&H) and doing Really well, a bit of fatigue but seems to be really good!

There was one comment the Dr made that I haven't understood, something alon the lines that normal number was 3-4, 10 was high and Mom's was 20...I think he was talking about HER 2 receptors, but if this sounds familiar to anyone let me know...She is in South Bend...I'm 90 minutes from her, but have been to all appointments...if all else fails I will ask him at next appt.

I am a nurse so I know how important positive attitude is and not getting caught up in stats, but the medical side of me wants stats on prognosis. I have checked w/ some of the sites people recommended, but not a whole lot of information on HER2...I guess all you women out there will show everyone just how wonderful Herceptin is!!

God Bless all of you, I'm sure I will be turning to you all in the future as things pop up. Thanks for all the support.
