Hi
I am brca2+ and her2+. I just had a double mastectomy lymph nodes were clear. Stage 1 grade 3 tumor was 7mm. I will be meeting with the oncologist next week to discuss treatment. The surgeon mentioned that because of the size of the tumor I am on the borderline for treatment. Does anyone have any thoughts regarding that statement. I was hoping to avoid chemo.
