Great Idea! Thanks Rhonda

Was dx. 4/15/05 (age 54)
3MM tumor
node neg. er postive, pr negative
her2 +++ postive by FISH
grade 1
Lumpectomy followed with 32 treatments of radiation
Recently had Oncotype DX test performed came back off the charts. 4/19/06
Went for PET scans , CT scans and bone scans on 4/26/06
After scans results come back I will begin chemo/and herceptin.
I am one year out from dx. and I have finally found an answer.
All the dr. went by the tumor size and the node negative status and
did NOT think the Her2 postive required chemo or herceptin.
THEY ARE WRONG....went to L.A. and saw Dr. Slamon.....
