Re: question on DCIS and HER2

My first onc never even mentioned the HER2 status and didn't even advise chemo. That's why I went for another opinion. My second onc explained all about the hormone status and the HER2 and set me up for A/C and Herceptin. The differences in onc opinions is amazing. and scary.
