Receptor Status
It is so encouraging to read about all the advancements for Her2+ bc. However, since my recurrence was triple negative, I can't help but feel that I won't be able to benefit from this should my cancer come back.
What are the chances that if I have another recurrence, it would be her2+? Does anyone know? Every time I express my concerns to my Onc. about not being her2+, I just hear, "It is what it is."
I'm sorry. I know other are dealing with real issues and this is just a what if for now.
