Last year I had a recurrence. The tumor was 7mm, ER/PR+ and Her+++ (IHC test done, but no FISH). I had a mastectomy and the oncologist said no to chemo. He put me on Tamoxifen because I was still having periods (I am almost 53). After much research on these boards and elsewhere, I decided to have my ovaries removed so that I could take Arimidex because I have been reading more and more that this drug is possibly better than Tamoxifen for Her2+++ ladies. Who knows if this is the right decision. I just had my annual mammogram on my other breast and it was fine and the check up with the surgeon today was fine. We tend to just second guess ourselves all the time and it comes down to having good info, an oncologist who is thoughtful and listens and doing what we think with the info we have at the moment. I think you ladies are wonderful and once again I send blessings to you all.
