Stage 1 means what, exactly?
I thought Stage 1, negative nodes was a good thing.
But I guess when one has her2 positive it doesn't mean much, right?
I have no vascular invasion. I had a 2 cm tumor, IDC on the right breast. I've had bilateral mastectomies. I am weakly ER positive.
Anyone else out there like me? What are my chances of no recurrence? I'm feeling great and have not begun chemo yet - am afraid to start because it looks like Herceptin doesn't have a long track record and I don't like being a guinea pig......
Would love to hear from others who have my same diagnosis. Thanks,
Diannes
Dx: IDC right breast, Aug 08, 2 cm tumor, grade 3, her2 positive, weakly ER positive, don't know about PR. Bilateral mastectomies Sept. 9 08, 8 negative lymph nodes, no vascular invasion. Stage 1.
