Re: Diagnosed this month
Hey Raz,
So happy that you got a second opinion.
I drove my doctors crazy trying to get out of chemo - I was diagnosed at age 44, Stage 2b, 3 positive nodes, Her2+++, ER-, PR- with Paget's of the nipple and IDC.
I'd forgotten about that scale - I was a 9 of 9.
Still I the standard of care: 6 treatments of Taxotere which they administer every 3 weeks, so that's 4 1/2 months - and I was more advanced.
So perhaps I should have asked what chemo you are doing - as I'd be curious what the current recommendation is for early breast cancer.
I would have loved to be in your shoes and had the chance to enroll in a clinical trial with only targeted therapies and no taxanes, platinum salts or adriamycin.
Well I'm sure any little cancer cells are going to get knocked out fast and hard. And will not want to come back for sure!
