Hi Shero - I'm OK. Still scared about the whole HER2 thing. I mentioned above about asking for an MRI - didn't get it that year and was diagnosed with a new cancer (not lobular) in the other breast a year later. My original surgeon should have ordered one before the first surgery - turns out the other cancer was actually there at that time but was missed. In a way I'm glad they didn't find it as I avoided a BMX - just had a lumpectomy on the new one and rads again. I switched surgeons and am much happier with the female one I chose - very neat stitching, so good you can hardly see the scars. I now have mammo/ultrasound alternated with MRI every 6 months. So far so good although I'm nervous about my next MRI in October.
