I found a lump 9/9/04 in my armpit. It grew fast and was removed. What 4 different doctors thought was lymphoma was BC. Her2 +++ estrogen neg. progesterone 10%. Couldn't find the primary - might be primary grew into lymph node and they got it all. Did 4 tx a/c and 4 taxol. 14 nodes removed all negative. 33 rad tx. Now on Herceptin tx 7 of 17 (every three weeks). All tests done prior to the removal of the initial lymph node were negative. But in reading and listening to other patients at treatment I see Her2 repeaters. Am I destined to have reoccurance because I am Her2 positive? I have so much to be thankiful for, but I'm unclear about some aspects of being Her2 positive. Blessings to you all.
