I had invasive bc in 1986-lumpectomy, then quarter of breast removed, radiation. In 2003-4 I was diagnosed in the other breast with a small invasive ductal carcinoma, her2+,hormone neg, one node positive, surgery with breast reduction in that breast, dense dose chemo that had to be stopped due to severe neuropathy, radiation.This lump I found myself about 4 weeks after a mamo--even later it would not image. I was not admitted to the Her2 trial because of previous breast cancer and not given herceptin when it was available because I was a couple of months more out of chemo than was recommended. In 2006 I had a localized lobular carcinoma removed, from the breat originally treated- no further treatment recommended. Naturally there have been endless biopsies etc. over the years. I'm glad to be around! Are there women at your site who tested Her2 positive and did not receive herceptin? How are they doing? This question is of great interest to me. Thank you for your time, ce
