Question Just Dx Her-2/Neu 3+ pos

Greetings to all

I had a core ultrasound Guided core biospy on May 24, then was called by doc on june 5 and was told that I had advanced cancer and by then I had a not just one lump under left breast but doc found a enlarged node under left arm.
Path report said
poorly differentiated (nottingham score 8-9) and is associated with marked lymphplasmacytic inflammtory infiltrate. Focal necrosis is present.

Tumor cells pos for CK7 and neg for CK20 and GCD FP-15

No intraductal component is present

- Progesterone receptor: neg
- Her2/Neu: 3+ pos

Getting a PET scan on 12 and Bone scan the 16 of June. And will see my New Doc on the 14 of june.

Just like some advice of what I should ask her, I'm new to this and have looked up things on the internet but dang its to much for me to remember. I'm really scared and right now I dont have a very good out look. Just to much bad new for this kind of Dx. Just need some advice on what I should look for and ask the docs.

I told my daughters already one lives here in Norfolk and the other in HI. The daughter in HI along with my granddaughter which is 4yrs old, are flying over and staying with me for a mo. I told both of them to tell their GYN's about me having breast cancer and to get that genes test. BC does not run in my family that I know of but just to be safe. Well thanks for listening and Bless you all.
Annette
