I was orginally dx'd Sept 02. I had chemo shortly after. 6 rounds of FEC. Orginal dx's was T2N0M0. Recur. Oct 05. Tumor excised successfully, clear margins. Will start rads soon to scar line. Then re-scan lungs/liver in 2 months.... They didn't even test orginial tumor for her2neu status as you know the drug wasn't available for adjunctive use anyway. So, now they say with local/or regional recur. it puts me in a non-category, unless I want to pay for it. My onc wishes there wasn't this sub-set of in between, but there is....and appparently I am in it. I will have the lung re-scanned or bx'd to make a final conclusion so this may change in two months anyway.....

Thanks for your thoughts and help!!
