Re: Need some help!!
Tracy, I have no experience or advice with the expanders but I do have a question about the ERPR. It looks like you had several biopsies, and then surgery? Were all the ER values consistent in those differently-gathered tissues? Or was there only one pathology that reported the ER? If so, was it done a a major (preferably Comprehensive Cancer Center) lab? If there is ANY doubt about this, I suggest that you send (or have the lab send) your tissue for a second pathology opinion at a Comprehensive Cancer Center.
There are two issues here. Of course, you don't want to miss an opportunity to take a drug that can make a big difference to your risk of recurrence. But on the other hand, neither do you want to take a drug that offers you no benefit, and side effects to boot.
