So I wonder how long it would take for us to each be reclassified by the new criteria and after that, how long it would be before it would actually change therapy for any of us...
Especially those who are NED, since treatment never changes for those who are NED until we recur.
The theory about dormant cells in the bone is interesting, given that there is evidence that even most patients with early stage bc are found to have micromets in the bone.
It seems logical to me that if it is true that even most early stage patients have micromets to the bone, the least they could do for any NED HER2+++ who is more than a year out would be to sample for bone micromets -- and if they find them, then they should make it standard practice to prescribe Herceptin so that our insurance will pay for it. (Does this seem like rocket science to anybody?)
To answer the question, I too was Grade 3 (SBR 8-9).
