Dumb Question
Hi all,
I have a question that probably does not have an answer, but I must ask it. Especially as I am a little (not myself) right now as tomorrow I will receive my last scheduled Herceptin. Anyhow, I have read over and over again that HER2 is a very fast growing cancer. I am trying to figure this out. I was mammogramed from the time I was about 31 as I was told I had cystic breasts. No family history and not to be graphic they were mosquito bites until I was about 42 hit menopause and gained about 30 pounds. All of a sudden I developed. My point being this. No mammo's picked up the tumor. Although in 2003 I had a biopsy for something they said was not anything. I found this tumor, by the Grace of God while showering. I would swear there was nothing there the day before. I was not doing an exam, just taking a shower. My last mammo tech told me that I must have had this for years if I was able to feel it. This is not the first time I have heard these words. Does anyone have any idea how fast this grows or is it true that once you can feel it yourself it has been there for so long? The tumor was 1.5 cm. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Liz J.
