Caya--Your doctor said the same thing my oncologists told me when my pathology report came back last year as Her2+/ER+/Pr+. "One rare bird" is what they called me--male triple positive breast cancer.

And yes, they did a base line PET/CT on me before my surgery. It showed a nodule in the lung and thyroid. They weren't concerned about the lung but referred me to thyroid surgeon who did a biopsy. It was inconclusive so I am to go back after I am done with my Herceptin and have another go at it. One thing can lead to another with PET.
