Re: ER-/PR- HER2+ Recurrence Period
Hi Spitfire, My research confirms what Debbie has stated above. Hormone Negative, HER2 tumors tend to recur mostly in 2-3 yearsfollowing dx.
While hormone positive tumors can recur after many years. (My mom recurred 20 years following her initial diagnosis)
Follow up and treatment after recurrence treatment options are variable.
Let us know more if you have a specific concern that has not been answered.
